Network Mask
(only when Use DHCP = NO)
In order to use the TCA autoloader on the network, a valid network mask is
required.
If you are unsure about Network Mask, consult your Network
Administrator, or set Use DHCP = YES.
Gateway IP Address
In order to communicate with systems on different subnets, or to connect to
Global DiscWare for automatic firmware updates, you need to enter the
Gateway address.
If you are unsure of this Gateway address, please
contact your Network administrator or set Use DHCP = yes.
Network Active
To make the TCA autoloader go in to Network Mode automatically when
powered on, set this option to YES. Setting this option to NO will make the
TCA autoloader power on to the main menu (not network mode).
N/W Fast Start
The TCA autoloader is capable of starting recording jobs while the data is
being received over the network. This can dramatically increase the speed
of starting a job. However, this option should only be used on fast / lightly
loaded networks. If your network is slow, or has a large amount of traffic on
it (i.e. heavily loaded), set this option to no. When set to No all the data
must arrive at the TCA autoloader before a job will begin. In order for Fast
Start to operate, the ‘Fast Start’ option should also be enabled on the
TrueNet ‘Create Job’ dialog. See the TrueNet user manual for details.
Time & Date
The TCA autoloader includes a real time clock system. The time and date
may need to be adjusted from time-to-time, or if the TCA autoloader is
delivered to a different time zone from the Global DiscWare factory.
Set Time
Enter the time in 24 clock format.
Set Date
Enter the current date. Three date formats are available, and the currently
selected date format is shown on the bottom line of the LCD. See ‘Set
Date Format’ to select a different date format if required.
