File Management
This Web page displays a list of files stored on the System 5 IP. It also allows those
with administrator access to load additional files into the switcher or delete files.
The File Management page allows you to sort by file type (see the Filter by File
Extension
or Select drop-down menu). Personnel with administrator access can
view these pages and make changes. Those with user-level privileges are not able
to see this page.
CAUTION Event files should NOT be deleted. They are necessary for the switcher’s
operation. Never delete the main event file (0.evt).
File types: a key to file names
You must have a basic understanding of the types of files used by this switcher in

Files that can be stored on the switcher and on the PC
___.cdc — The ___.cdc file is generated by Global Configurator software. It is a
compressed file that holds the GC configuration and is loaded onto each
System 5 IP. If you do not have the configuration of a specific switcher saved
to the PC, you can download or import this file from the switcher. This file
type and the ability to import it are supported with GC version 2.1 and
higher.
___.eir — These are driver files containing infrared commands. There is a separate
___.eir file for each device the switcher controls via infrared communication.
This is the type of file created during IR learning. Via the configuration
software, these files can be imported and associated with one of the switcher’s
IR/Serial ports.
___.eml — E-mail template files have the .eml extension. These files are used to
generate e-mail messages such as those regarding projector disconnection and
excessive projector lamp hours. The first line of the file is the subject. The rest
