Configuring transfer targets
Configuring transfer targets
On many MDI configuration pages there is a section for configuring transfer targets.
When you configure a transfer target, you specify the following:
• The MDI through which the MediaFrame system has access to the files sent or
received.
• The IP address of the FTP interface that handles the transfer of the files.
For the different device-types that can be transfer targets, there are different
relationships between the MDI that accesses the files and the device that hosts the FTP
interface. The following table specifies how to configure transfer targets to maintain
the correct MDI/FTP relationships.
NOTE: In Aurora 6.5, you no longer need to configure transfer targets in the
archives.
Configuring round robin transfers
Round robin is a method for distributing transfers requests from a K2, News,
M-Series or Profile MDI server to multiple transfer servers. For example, to set up a
round robin archive from a News MDI, add two transfer servers to the News MDI
configuration.
First transfer request — handled by the first transfer server listed.
Second transfer request — handled by the second transfer server in the list.
Third transfer request — handled by the first transfer server.
Fourth transfer request — handled by the second transfer server.
When
configuring
this type of
MDI as a

And that MDI
manages

device…
Enter this as the
MDI name…
And then enter
FTP IP
address…
(NOTE: Do not
enter the FTP

And when you add the
