Once these steps are complete, the download may be initiated. For more information, see Download
procedure on page 4-10. For general information about channel guide functionality, see About channel
guides on page 5-45.
NOTE: A working knowledge of FTP is helpful for server setup and successful file transfer.
4.7.1 File preparation and general handling notes
• Every transfer action deletes all existing channel guides from the unit, even if the server folder does
not contain any valid files to replace them.
• On the FTP server computer, the files to transfer must be placed in the “home directory” associated
with the FTP user account that you intend to use. For any given transfer action, only the files in a
single folder are transferred to the unit.
• Channel guides must be in the proper XML format as described under About channel guides on
page 5-45.
• All files with an *.xml extension (case-insensitive) are transferred. Any other files in the designated
folder are ignored.
NOTE: If a file named thresholds.xml exists (case-insensitive), it will also be ignored. For this
reason, a channel guide file cannot use this name.
• Other than general limitations of internal disk space, the unit has no functional limitation on how many
channel guide files it may contain.
4.7.2 Download procedure
1. Connect the unit to a 10/100/1G Ethernet network that can access the computer running the FTP
server.
2. Select System > Download Channel Guide and specify the required parameters for download. If
you do not have a Admin Port currently set up, these parameters information must include Admin
Port configuration information. For more information, see FTP connection parameters on page 1-47.
4.8 Cal Touchscreen
(System > Cal Touchscreen)
This function calibrates the touchscreen display for optimal response. Calibration should be done after
firmware upgrades, after battery replacement, or if the screen response begins to degrade after heavy
use.
