Mazatrol options

Failed transfers

Mazatrol options dialog

param

Save failed transfers

Check this field if you want to save failed transfers. Failed transfers occurs if the program/file name of an auto received file could not be determined, and no remote request triggered was found.

param

Failed transfers to keep

Specify the number of failed transfers to keep. Failed transfers are named FAILED_$PORTNAME.xxx. The file with the largest 'xxx' value is the latest failed transfer.

Limit operator access

param

Limit operator access to $DATA

Check this field to limit the operator access to $DATA and any sub-directory of $DATA.

When this option is enabled, the operator is not allowed to select any Mazatrol files/disks above the $DATA directory.

param

Browse $DATA only

Check this field to restrict manual transmission of files to '$DATA'.

When this option is selected the operator cannot access any sub-directories of $DATA, or any directories above $DATA.

param

Extensions

Use this field to specify the extension(s) of files that the operator can transfer using manual transmission.

To specify multiple extensions separate them with a comma.

Using the wildcards * and ? is supported.

Leaving this field blank will allow the operator to send/receive all file types.

To allow files without extensions, specify a comma at the beginning.

If you do not select 'Limit operator access to $DATA', the operator is allowed to transfer files with other extensions than the ones specified here, but by default, only files with these extensions are visible.

Example: To allow all files with extensions .MZK and .MAZ, specify: MZK,MAZ

Example: To allow all files where the first letter of the extension is M, specify: M*

Example: To allow all files without an extension, or with the extension MZK, specify: ,MZK

param

Allow only selected extensions

Check this field to restrict manual reception of files. When this field is selected, only files with extensions listed in the 'Extensions' field above can be received manually.

Additional request extensions

param

Additional extensions

Use this field to specify additional remote request extensions.

When the server receives a remote request, it will first scan the request directories, for any files with the extension specified in the 'Mazatrol Transfer/Extension' field. If no file is found, the server will scan for files with any of the extensions specified below.

To specify multiple extensions separate them with a comma.

Using the wildcards * and ? is supported.

To allow files without extensions, specify a comma at the beginning.

Example: To show all files with extensions .MZK and .NC, specify: MZK,NC

Example: To show all files where the first letter of the extension are GBI, specify: GBI*

Example: To allow all files without an extension, or with the extension MZK, specify: ,MZK

param

Also use these extensions when replacing files in request directories

When this option is selected, DNC-Max will look for programs with any of the specified extensions, when searching for files to replace in the request directories.

Example: If you have specified 'MZK' in the extension field on the 'Mazatrol Transfer' setup sheet, and you have specified 'MNC, GBM' in the 'Additional request extensions' field above, and you have selected the 'Replace if found in request directory' option. DNC-Max will first scan for any files matching the name of the received program in the specified request directories, using the extension MZK. If no file is found, it will scan the request directories for any files matching the received program name using the extensions MNC and GBM. The first file found that matches any of the additional extensions will be replaced with the received program.

Advanced

param

Max comment length

Use this field to specify the maximum comment length.

Specifying a value higher than supported by the selected control, using the 'Insert filename in comment' option is dangerous, and could clear all parameters on the control, so you should backup the control parameters before changing this value.

param

Strip comment until (ISO)

Use this field to specify a start character for the program comment.

Example: If all programs are stored as 'PRG:Name of program', specify : in this field to strip everything before (and including) the colon.

param
