Calling the file manager

Press the PGM MGT key: The TNC displays the file
management window (see figure for default setting.
If the TNC displays 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.

Subdirectories are shown to the right of and below their parent

directories. A triangle in front of the folder symbol indicates that there

are further subdirectories, which can be shown with the –/+ or ENT

keys.
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.

For most file types, the TNC also displays a preview of the currently

highlighted file in the window at bottom left. With very large files, it

may take some time for the preview to appear. You can also

deactivate the file preview function (see "Adapting the file manager"

on page 137)
