Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex
product.
The Model 8360 is an ether card dedicated for the
D2424/D2424LV digital multitrack recorder.
By installing the 8360 to the recorder, it can be
used as an "FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server".
If you connect the recorder which is equipped with
the ether card to a personal computer using a LAN
cable, you can transfer audio files between the re­corder and personal computer over the TCP/IP.
To transfer file data, an appropriate FTP client ap­plication must be used.

Installing the ether card

The ether card should be installed into the recorder
at a Fostex service station. Do not try to install the
card by yourself. Ask your local Fostex dealer for
the installation after purchasing the Model 8360.

<Note>

By installing the ether card to the D2424/D2424LV, the
"TCP/IP setting" menu is added to the setup mode on the
recorder.

<Note>

There is the possibility of damaging the hard disk when
transporting the recorder. Before transporting the re­corder to our service department for the installation of
the Ether Card, remove the hard disk from the recorder.
Be sure to keep the removed hard disk carefully.

FTP client applications

Currently we confirm that the following FTP client
applications can be used with the Model 8360.

• for Windows: WS-FTP (shareware)

• for Macintosh: Fetch (shareware)

<Note>

We confirm that the Windows FTP Explorer cannot be
used with the Model 8360.

Connecting to a personal computer

There are two types for connecting the recorder to a personal computer using the LAN cable; one to one
connection and LAN connection. The following describes how to make connection for each type.

One to one connection

To connect the recorder to a personal computer on a "one to one" basis, use a "cross cable of category 5 or
higher" for connection between the recorder and a personal computer, as shown below.
To use the ether card as an FTP server, see "TCP/IP setting (recorder's initial setting)" and "Personal com­puter setting" described later.

Connection to an existing LAN

To connect the recorder to an existing LAN, use a "straight cable of category 5 or higher" for connection
between the recorder and a hub, as shown below.

<Note>

When connecting the recorder to an existing LAN, set the IP address and subnet mask correctly. Other­wise, whole LAN system may have a trouble. Before setting the IP address and subnet mask, consult the
network administrator. To use the ether card as an FTP server, see "TCP/IP setting (recorder's initial
setting)" and "Personal computer setting" described later.

dialog to "RawData".

<Files shown on the personal computer monitor>

On the personal computer monitor, you can see the file con­figuration of the recorder in the FTP application window. In
the following example, programs 1 and 2 are recorded onto
the recorder. (Note that, depending on the FTP application,
the appearance is different.)

Getting a file from the recorder

1. Log in to the D2424/D2424LV from the personal computer
via the network.

2. Select the program folder in which the file to be acquired
belongs to.

3. Set the transfer mode of the FTP application to "Binary" (or
"Auto", if available).

Note

: Do not select "ASCII" or "EBCDIC" for the transfer mode.

4. Get the desired track file(s).

5. Log out from the D2424/D2424LV.

• "/" is shown on the icon
of the uppermost directory.

• Each program corresponds
to each folder. The folder
name is shown as "(program
name)_(program number)".

• Each track in the program
is shown as "tr (track
number).wav".

• The permission of an
existing file or folder is set
to "read-only".

Putting files to the recorder

Notes on transferring files

1. Log in to the D2424/D2424LV from the personal computer
via the network.

2. Select the program folder to which you are going to put the
file.

If you want to put the file to a new program, create a new
folder. Specify only a program name as the folder name.
You do not need to specify a program number. When you
create a folder to which only the program name is specified,
the recorder automatically adds the program number to the
name (you cannot specify a desired program number).

Functions of the FTP application

Creates the "CCC" folder.

By updating the FTP application
window in which the folder con­tents are shown, the newly cre­ated folder "CCC_03" appears.

Functions of the recorder

Creates a new pro­gram "CCC".
A program number is
assigned (for example,
"03" is assigned).

<Example of creating a new folder>

3. Set the transfer mode of the FTP application to "Binary" (or
"Auto").

4. Put the desired track file(s) to the recorder.

5. Log out from the D2424/D2424LV.

1. A file name must be "tr (track number).wav". Other file
names cannot be accepted.

2. Only a mono-track, 16/24-bit, 96/88.2/48/44.1-kHz WAV
file can be transferred (for both direction).

3. If a track WAV file, which has the different quantization bit
size from the recorder's hard disk format, is sent to the
recorder from a personal computer using FTP, it is not
accepted. For example, you cannot store 24-bit file data to a
16-bit formatted hard disk on the recorder using FTP.

4. If a track WAV file, whose Fs is different from the track data
already stored on the recorder's hard disk, is sent to the
recorder from a personal computer using FTP, the file is
stored with the original Fs. Therefore, when the program is
played back, only the associated track is played back as if it
is pitch-controlled. For example, if you store 48-kHz data
for track 16 ("tr16.wav") to an existing program with

44.1-kHz track data, track 16 is stored with 48-kHz data.

5. If the combination of the program name which is set as the
folder name and program number does not match the data
stored in the recorder, you cannot store the file. In such a
case, update the personal computer monitor window which
shows the folder contents of the FTP application, then carry
out the store operation again.

6. Because the permission of existing track files on the recorder
is read-only, you cannot overwrite the file. Each track data
in a program is stored as an individual WAV file, therefore,
you can store only a WAV file of the track whose WAV file
does not exist on the recorder. For example, if WAV files for
tracks 1 through 10 on the program are stored, you can
store the track 11 WAV file ("tr11.wav.").
