The TNC in a network

If the TNC is connected to a network, the directory window displays
up to 7 additional drives in the directory window to the left (see figure).
All the functions described above (selecting a drive, copying files, etc.)
also apply to network drives, provided that you have been granted the
corresponding rights.

To select the program management: Press the PGM

MGT key. If necessary, press the WINDOW soft key
to set up the screen as it is shown at the upper right

To manage the network drives: Press the NETWORK

soft key (second soft-key row). In the right-hand
window the TNC shows the network drives available

It may take some time to mount a network device. At the upper right
of the screen the TNC displays [READ DIR] to indicate that a
connection is being established. The maximum transmission speed is
2 to 5 Mbps, depending on the type of file being transferred and how
busy the network is.
