Remote Request/Auto Receive dialog

param

Enable remote requests

Use this field to enable the remote request feature. Remote request is used to automatically send files to the DNC, when receiving a small program containing information about which program should be sent. You must configure one or more remote request sets to activate this feature.

param

Request program number (Drip-feed)

Use this field to specify the program number that is used to request that a program is sent back to the control in normal mode (not drip-feed).

When DNC-Max receives an ISO program from the control, it will extract the program number and the first comment.

If the program number matches the program number specified, it scans the directories specified on the 'Directories' setup sheet for the filename specified in the comment. If the file is found, the file is sent to the control.

param

Request program number (Normal)

Use this field to specify the program number that is used to request that a program is sent back to the control in drip-feed mode.

When DNC-Max receives an ISO program from the control, it will extract the program number and the first comment.

If the program number matches the program number specified, it scans the directories specified on the 'Directories' setup sheet for the filename specified in the comment. If the file is found, the file is sent to the control.

param

Extension(s)

Use this field to specify the extension that should be added to the program name specified in the first comment.

param

Request delay (secs)

Use this field to specify the amount of time DNC-Max should wait before reading the program from the control.

The specified time must be long enough for the operator to switch the control settings to DNC mode.

Auto Receive

param

Enable auto receive

Use this field to enable the auto receive feature. Auto receive is used to automatically determine where files received from the CNC should be saved on the server. You must configure one or more auto receive sets to activate this feature.

param

Directory name

Use this field to specify where programs matching this set should be saved. If path information is included in the auto received program, that information could overwrite the information specified here. To configure how path information should be handled, please go to the 'Path' setup sheet for this set.

param

Replace if found in request directory

Check this field to replace files in request directories. When this option is selected, DNC-Max scans all of the directories specified on the 'Directories' setup sheet of all active remote requests (including subdirectories if they are marked as recursive). If the received program is found in any of these directories, this program is replaced with the received program.
