<0/IPA? command or from the front panel with the <Config> <Remote>
<Remote> <Ethernet> menus.
To PING and FTP from DOS, press the “Start” button on the Windows toolbar,
and select the “Run...” option.
• From Win95 or Win98, type “command”.
• From WinNT, Win2K or WinXP, type “cmd”.

Start Menu.

“cd c:\temp”.
• A quick “dir” will show the downloaded files.

1 minute to transfer the file.
