In the previous example, the destination of the winq11p user is set to SHOW.11PM.

Be sure that both “Use New FTP Interface” and “Use Fast Mode” are checked in. You will be

unable to browse the AvStar directory tree if Use Fast Mode is not checked.

AutoSelect Dir. - If you know that this server is only ever going to prompt a queue called rundown

you can set that to .rundown (that’s rundown). In theory, that will only allow that

server/show to see queues that are called rundown.

Direct to Queue - If this is box is ticked the AutoSelect Dir path will be grayed out and wincue will

use the path specified when opening this server

“Background Download” lets the system start prompting before having downloaded the whole

show.

NOTE: Some AvStar customers who’ve experimented with this think that it made the WinCue

less stable and they opted to not use this option.

After setting up the show in this General Settings tab, click the Host Configuration tab to setup the

connection to the AvStar server.
