Calling the file manager

Press the PGM MGT soft key: The TNC displays the
file management window. (The figure at right shows
the basic settings. If the TNC shows a different
screen layout, press the WINDOW soft key.)

The narrow window on the left

shows the available drives and

directories. Drives designate devices with which data are stored or
transferred. One drive is the hard disk of the TNC. Other drives are the
interfaces (RS232, RS422, Ethernet), which can be used, for example,
to connect a personal computer. A directory is always identified by a
folder symbol to the left and the directory name to the right. The
control displays a subdirectory to the right of and below its parent
directory. A box with the + symbol in front of the folder symbol
indicates that there are further subdirectories, which can be shown
with the –/+ key or ENT.

The wide window on the right

shows you all files that are stored in

the selected directory. Each file is shown with additional information,
illustrated in the table below.
