General Information

DEVA’s DB8009-MPX is an exceptional example of a top-notch silence detector that continues

the company’s hugely successful range of broadcast tools but at the same time stands apart in terms
of the functionalities it provides users with. It guarantees highly dependable monitoring of the
Composite Stereo signal, Analog and Digital Audio feed and in case of signal loss automatically
switches over to one of a number of available backup sources.
Crucially, however, the most notable advantage of this product are the MPX inputs and outputs
providing precise MPX monitoring and backup capabilities. Similarly to other tools in this product
line, the DB8009-MPX also offers the familiar MP3 and IP Audio backup options. Its design
incorporates a fully DSP-based Stereo Encoder which provides an MPX signal at the output even
if the backup source has been set as Analog, Digital or IP Audio.
The unit can be easily configured and monitored by users via SNMP, the WEB Interface, the
front panel LCD display and the set of soft buttons. Another important feature is its capability for
alert notifications which, in case radio silence is detected, can be generated via email, SNMP or
analog opto-coupled outputs. As an addition, if power failure is detected, the MAIN Audio and
MPX inputs will switch directly to the Audio and MPX outputs. Once the power is restored, the
DB8009-MPX will resume its proper operation.
The DB8009-MPX provides UPnP for easy discovery in local networks, as well as digital
volume control of all audio sources, and can be incorporated effortlessly into the setup of either
a single station or large radio networks. Through a standard FTP client, MP3 backup files can be
uploaded onto the device, which also has a 4GB storage capacity ensuring no repetition of audio
tracks for over 24 hours of playback.
The DB8009-MPX is a model that combines the immaculate monitoring performance of
DEVA’s products with the much-valued precision of the Analog, Digital Audio and MPX silence
detection to deliver a constant, uninterrupted audio feed.

Unpacking and inspection

Upon receipt, the equipment should be inspected for possible shipping damages. If such are
found or suspected, notify the carrier at once and contact DEVA Broadcast Ltd. The original
shipping carton box and packing materials should be kept for possible reuse, in case of return for
Warranty repair, for example. Shipping damages as a result of improper packing for return may
invalidate the Warranty!

The packing material (plastic bags, polystyrene, nails, etc.) must never be left within reach
of children, as these items are potential sources of danger.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that the “Product Registration Card” included in the Manual be
completed accurately and returned. This will assure coverage of the terms of the Warranty and it will
provide a means of trace in case of lost or stolen equipment. In addition, the user will automatically
receive SERVICE OR MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS from DEVA Broadcast Ltd.

Mounting
RACK REQUIREMENTS 1U
The unit mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and requires only 1¾ inches (1U) of
vertical rack space. In order the painted finish around the mounting holes to be protected, the use
of plastic washers is recommended.

RACK REQUIREMENTS COMPACT UNITS

Our customized 1U 19-inch rack accessory provides a professional mounting option for up to
three compact size DEVA units. It is made of milled aluminum and finished in black powder coat.
Two extra blanking panels and set of mounting screws are provided with each rack bracket kit.

STAND-ALONE DEVICES
DEVA’s stand-alone units (Radio Explorer series, BandScanner series, DVB Explorer) do not
require additional tools or installation brackets.

AC Mains Power
FUSE HOLDER
The fuse holder is placed inside the unit, next to the voltage selector. Apply downward pressure
and pull the cap outward to access the 5mm mains fuse. The reverse process will release the cap.

MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTOR

Before connecting the AC Power, make sure that the internal Power Switch is in accordance
with the mains supply at your location. The Power Supply Factory Settings are:
- 100 - 240 VAC
- 1 Amp Fuse

CAUTION: Permanent damage will result if improper AC supply voltage is applied to the
device. The warranty DOES NOT cover damages caused by applying improper supply voltage or
usage of improper fuse.

POWER CORD
The detachable IEC-type power cord is supplied with the unit. The individual cord conductors
may be color-coded in either of two ways:

1) In accordance with US standards: 2) To European CEE standards:

BLACK = AC “HOT” BROWN = AC “HOT”
WHITE = AC NEUTRAL BLUE = AC NEUTRAL
GREEN = EARTH GROUND GREEN/YELLOW = EARTH GROUND

GROUND LOOPS
Because the unbalanced INPUTS/OUTPUTS of the device are chassis-ground-referenced, a
mains frequency or INPUT/OUTPUT ground loop could be formed between the input or output
cable shield grounds and the AC power cord ground. A ‘ground-lifting’ AC adapter may help in
this situation, although the chassis must be properly grounded for safety purposes. In general, the
equipment being installed in a rack will satisfy the safety requirement.

NOTE: If the port is different than the default one (80), it is necessary to specify it, for example:
http://192.168.1.2:9000

ATTENTION: Depending on Internet Protocol Settings, the assigned IP address may not be
visible outside your local network, thus the device may be accessed only within that network.
Consult with your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings.

NETWORK SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. It is not recommended the DB8009-MPX to be directly connected to the Internet. This may
lead to unregulated access and/or problematic operation of the device. To ensure secure
connection, we recommend the device to be installed behind a router with an active firewall.
2. If remote access to the device is needed, we recommend using VPN to the router or the port
of the relevant service (WEB, SNMP, Application, etc.) to be properly NAT forwarded.
3. If NAT forward is used, it is highly recommended random ports of your choice to be used.
Not the standard ones (80 for WEB, 161 for SNMP, etc.).
4. Using DMZ connection is not recommended.
5. Make sure to change the standard access credentials (usernames and passwords, SNMP
communities).

For detailed information as regards the recommendations listed above or need of further
instructions, please contact your network administrator.

Navigation Through LCD Menu

THE BASICS
DB8009-MPX has an easy to read, LCD screen that visualizes all measurements of the received
signal and settings. Upon switching it on, the Company Logo and model of the device will be
displayed. After a few seconds the Start-up screen will disappear, replaced by the Main Screen.
This is the starting point of the navigation process.

After the Initial screen disappears (in a few seconds), it will be replaced by the Main Menu
readings.

This is the starting point of the navigation process.

Prior to proceeding further in the menu structure, it is important to note the basic functionality
- the keyboard (placed on the right of the LCD Screen) consists of [Up], [Down], [Left], [Right]
and [OK] buttons. The Main Menu structure has an up-and-down basis, expanded with left-to-right
branches.

INPUT

Main and AUX MPX In Meter Calibration

Allows the user to adjust the MPX level that should be considered as 100% MPX. This setting
is very important as the silence detection works based on it.
Main and AUX Digital Input
• Gain - Audio gain adjust from -10 to 10 dB. Default value is 0dB.
Main and AUX Analog Input
• 0dBFS Adjust – Allows the user to adjust the level that should be considered as 100% 0dBFS.
This setting is very important as the silence detection works based on it.
• Gain - Audio gain adjust from -10 to 10 dB. Default value is 0dB.
MP3 Audio Player
The Playback Order can be changed from here. The following options are available: A-Z, Z-A,
Shuffle, Playlist, and Shuffled Playlist. Information on the used and available SD card storage
respectively, could also be found in this section. [Repeat] and [Next] button to navigate through
the playlist if need be, are also available.
MP3 Files Upload via FTP
Through the use of a standard FTP client, you have the opportunity to update the backup content
at will via any PC. The supported format is .mp3. An important requirement for the MP3 Player
configuration is that all MP3 files should be stored in a folder named Audio (no sub-folders are
allowed). The folder should be located in the root of the SD Card. The playlist file must be named
playlist.m3u.

IP Audio Client
Set Decoder from the drop-down menu, and URL of the stream server.
• Decoder (+ Sample rate) – Select decoder and sample rate. It can be set to Auto or set manually
to preferred decoder and sample rate. In Auto Mode, the DB8009-MPX will adjust decoder
and sample rate, using stream supplied information. For PCM (uncompressed) sample rate
can be 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz. For MPEG1 the sample rate is determined automatically from
the stream.
• Pre-buffer – The minimum amount of time in which the unit will pre-buffer before playing
starts in order for problems with the connection to be prevented.
• Connection - Select connection type. On Demand will instruct IP Audio Client to establish
a connection only when it is the current audio source, otherwise it will stay disconnected.
This mode is useful for metered Internet connections. When set to Always ON the IP Audio
Client will keep the connection active even when it is not the current source.
NOTE: On Demand does not apply if IP Audio Client is the Main backup priority. In this case
it will work in Always ON mode.
NOTE: If Silence is detected while in On Demand mode, DB8009-MPX will switch to the next
backup priority and will disconnect the IP Audio Client connection. It will not return to IP Audio
Client again before it switches to Main first.

Jingle Player
This option is available only when the audio source is set to MP3 Audio Player. The Jingle
player is designed for playing jingles (speech and music) at different intervals specified by the
user. The intervals are counted by songs. From the Mode drop down menu the number of songs
after which a jingle should be played is chosen. The Playback Order is also user-defined. Generally
speaking, the Jingle Player allows you to make a simple radio play out.

Jingle Files Upload via FTP

Through the use of a standard FTP client, you have the opportunity to update the backup content
at will via any PC. The supported format is .mp3. An important requirement is that all jingles
should be stored in a folder named ‘Jingles’ (no subfolders are allowed). The folder should be
located in the root of the SD Card. The playlist file must be named playlist.m3u. For information
on how the connection between the DB8009-MPX and an FTP Client should be configured, please
refer to “Download/Upload files via FTP” on page 56.

How can a playlist file be made?

1. All backup audio files, and the play list must be located in a single folder named Audio.
2. Use a plain text editor to create a file named playlist.m3u.
3. The file should be stored in the same directory where the MP3 files are (folder Audio);
4. The play list should contain only the names of the files, without path. For example: Track1.
mp3
5. Each track name should be on a new line.
6. The song titles should be written in the order that they will be played.

BACKUP

The backup sources priority is user-defined and can be set through the Source Priority section.
If the audio from the main source disappears, the DB8009-MPX will automatically switch to the
first backup source; if it also fails, the unit will switch to the second. Once a source with higher
priority is restored, the unit will switch back to it. The GPI Forced option will force selected audio
input (Main, Backup 1 or Backup 2) via GPI pin.

Audio Loss and Audio Recovery and MPX Loss and Recovery
Allow you to select the appropriate levels of loss and recovery of the audio/MPX signal. Do not
forget to set the corresponding timeouts.
MPX Monitor Mode
Defines which signal will be monitored for silence and respectively switch over. The following
options are available:
• MPX Mono - the DB8009-MPX will monitor the L+R sub-band only;
• MPX Stereo - the unit will monitor the L+R sub-band and the PILOT signal.
How the device works
The DB8009-MPX has two MPX (Main and AUX), two Digital (Main and AUX) and two
Analog (Main and AUX) inputs.
Option 1 – Current source is MPX (Main or AUX). MPX signal is routed to MPX output. MPX
signal is partially demodulated to recover L+R mono audio. This audio is then routed to Audio
output.
Option 2 – Current source is Audio (IP Audio, MP3 Player, Main or AUX - Analog/Digital).
The Audio signal is routed to Stereo Coder and Audio output. MPX signal is generated by Stereo
Coder and routed to MPX output.

STEREO GENERATOR

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Stereo Generator, Basic RDS and Dynamic RDS will work only
when the device uses MP3 or IP Audio as audio source. When Main and AUX are used, Main or
AUX MPX input will be played.

The settings of the Stereo generator are applied through this section of the Web Interface.

General
Two modes of stereo operation are available [Stereo] and [Mono]. And the Emphasis could be
set to [Flat], [50μs] for Europe and [75μs] for USA.

Injection levels
Set the levels of the components included in the obtained final stereo multiplex signal.
• Audio gain - adjusts the level of the entire MPX Audio.
• Pilot - allows injection level (from 0 to 15%) of the 19 kHz pilot tone to be specified.
• RDS - sets the injection level (from 0 to 15%) of the RDS subcarrier.

Stereo Adjustment
From here you can change the phase of the PILOT tone.

MPX ITU Limiter

Limits the MPX Power as per the ITU BS412 directive. The authorities in each country have
set different parameters that should be observed. It is recommended your local authorization to be
checked.

BASIC RDS

All basic elements of the RDS/RBDS are displayed on the screen – PI, PS, RT, TA/TP and etc.
The Alternative frequencies are also available, represented as a list. The number of the AF can be
set via the AF Count Slider. Once the needed quantity of AFs is set, the frequencies for each of
them should be specified.

PI/CALL (Program Identification) – The PI code is your station’s ‘digital address’. It is a

hexadecimal code that is assigned by an appropriate broadcasting authority in most countries, but
in the United States the PI code is numerically calculated from the station’s call sign. We have
provided a calculator utility within the DB8009-MPX. An in-depth discussion of the mathematical
calculation is given in RDS/RBDS Standard. To use the PI calculator for US ‘K’ and ‘W’ call
signs, simply enter call letters into the CALL box. The hexadecimal code will automatically be
calculated into PI box. If the hexadecimal code for a US station is known, you may enter it under
PI, and then the call sign will be calculated automatically into CALL box. When PI calculator fails
to calculate PI or CALL the corresponding box will be filled with ‘----’.
PS (Program Service Name) – This is the station’s “street name” that will appear on the
receiver faceplate display. The PS can be up to eight characters in length (including spaces) and
can be as simple as the station’s call letters: KWOW or KWOW FM, or a slogan: NEWSTALK or
LIVE 95.
RT (Radio Text) – This is a 64-character block of plain text that the listener can select for
visual display on the faceplate of the radio by pressing an INFO button on the receiver. This
function is not available on many automobile radios for safety reasons, which has precipitated the
frowned-upon practice of scrolling the PS field instead. The Radio Text can announce song titles
and performers, run special promotions or contests, or broadcast sponsors’ messages.
PTY (Program Type) – The PTY data flag identifies the station format from a pre-defined
categories. Many RDS receivers are able to seek the listener’s preferred format automatically.

This means that a car radio can switch from a fading station to a stronger one that carries the
same variety of music, though not the very same program, as provided by AF switching. The PTY
function of RDS helps a broadcaster catch ‘transient audience’ share. The PTY code is not meant
to change from song to song or to accommodate a top-of-the-hour newscast, however.
MS (Music/Speech Switch) – This flag simply indicates whether music or speech is the primary
broadcast programming.
TP (Traffic Program Identification) – The TP flag identifies the station as one that routinely
broadcasts traffic bulletins for motorists as part of its normal, everyday programming. When the
TP flag is displayed on the receiver faceplate, the radio is searching for traffic announcements. The
radio keeps track of TP stations offering this service to speed up the search-and-switch process.
TA (Traffic Announcement) – This is a temporary flag added to the RDS data stream only
when a traffic bulletin is being aired. Some RDS car radios can be set to search for traffic bulletins
among various TP stations while tuned to a listener’s preferred program, or even while playing
a tape or CD. As soon as any TP station broadcasts a traffic bulletin, the receiver temporarily
switches-over to receive it. When the bulletin is finished, the receiver switches back to the original
program, tape or CD.
DI (Decoder Information) – This is one of several ‘flags’ that convey yes/no or other very
basic data. This particular flag tells the receiver whether the broadcast is monaural, or is being
transmitted in any of several methods of stereo or binaural broadcasting.
List of Alternative Frequencies – A network broadcaster, or one with low-power rebroadcast
transmitters (translators) to fill holes in his coverage area, can include a list of all frequencies where
the identical program can be heard simultaneously. The RDS receiver (particularly the upscale car
radio) constantly searches for the best signal that carries the very same program. When a better
signal is found, the radio re-tunes with no noticeable interruption. The principal utility of this RDS
function is with European radio networks and US stations with ‘translators.’

WHEN APPLYING NEW SETTINGS – In order new settings to take effect, it is necessary to
press the [Save] button. Please keep in mind that some of the new settings can reset DB8009-MPX.

DYNAMIC RDS

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Stereo Generator, Basic RDS and Dynamic RDS will work only
when the device uses MP3 or IP Audio as audio source. When Main and AUX are used, Main or
AUX MPX input will be played.

Dynamic PS
‘marches’ the message across the display screen one character at a time. The message requires
a much longer transmission time in this mode, but a glance at the radio display a few seconds still
allows the driver to get the full message without missing words.
Scroll Speed – The speed of dynamic PS messaging is set here, or dynamic PS messaging can
be turned off entirely. When 0 - DPS Disabled is selected, the dynamic PS message remains in the
nonvolatile encoder memory, but only the 8-character default static “street name” typed into the PS
field (Basic RDS) will be displayed on the receiver faceplate. Setting the speed at 1 - Slowest will
result in the slowest refresh rate of the ‘block’ message, or slowest safe scrolling. 9 - Fastest is the
fastest speed, but many RDS radios display gibberish at high speed settings. The display should be
stable with any radio at a speed setting of 7 or lower.
Parse Mode – sets the scroll step to be used in the “block” mode message transmission, more
popular as ‘grouped-word’ method. Once Parse Mode option is set, this encoder function is valid
for any scrolling-PS message, whether it is entered into the static DPS register, or received as ASCII
text from station automation. Very short words are sent together in groups. For example, THIS IS
constitutes seven characters that can be sent as a group. The same is applicable for OF THE or
NOW HERE, also. Longer words, up to and including 8 characters, are sent individually: WARNING
or DOUGHNUT or BICYCLE. The device can either center words that are sent individually on
the radio display or left-justify them. This will be covered along with the function of the ‘DPS
Scroll Step’. Words that exceed the available 8 characters are ‘sidestepped’ through two or more
consecutive displays. Examples: EMERGENC followed by MERGENCY, or SUPERMAR followed
by UPERMARK and PERMARKE and ERMARKET. This method of splitting words gives a good

sense of continuity and readability. Setting Parse Mode to 1 - Scroll by 1 letter will scroll the
message one character at a time, as described. Other numbers also safe-scroll the message, but at
2, 3, 4, and up to 8 characters at a time. Selecting 9 - Left Justified will parse, as described, but text
will be left-justified rather than centered on the display. 2 through 8 may be useful in some special
RDS applications, but 0 and 1 are the primary Parse Mode selections. To recap: 0 - Centered will
enable the more-popular, centered-auto-parsed block mode and 1 - Scroll by 1 letter the Dynamic
PS, letter-by-letter option.

Radio Text
RT Speed – The Radio Text update rate is programmed by setting RT Speed =n , with n a number
between 1 and 9, corresponding to a refresh rate between slow and fast, respectively. Keeping the
throughput tradeoff in mind, unless Radio Text is being used for contests or for other quasidynamic
activities, it is best to use a lower number. A rate of 1, 2 or 3 will make little difference in the speed
of other RDS functions. Radio Text can be turned off entirely by setting: RT Speed=0. A zero value
in this field turns the Radio Text message off, but does not delete any saved message from memory.
The RT (Radio Text) is set in Basic RDS tab.

PTYN (Program Type Name) Settings

PTYN – Program Type Name is transmitted as 8-bit characters. PTYN must only be used to
enhance Program Type information and it must not be used for sequential information.
PTYN Enable – [Enable] or [Disable] type 10A Group Transmission. This group allows further
description of the current Program Type.

Date & Time Settings

CT Enable – [Enable] or [Disable] type 4A Group Transmission.

Console Settings
Server – [Enable] or [Disable] the RDS Console
Timeout – allows session timeout to be specified. Upon expiration of the time set the connection
will be disabled.
TCP Port – a field where TCP port of the RDS console is to be entered. This console is used to
edit RDS settings in real time. Default value is 2233.
Password – Password for the RDS console. These are the first symbols that must be sent to
authenticate to the RDS console, otherwise the connection will be cancelled. If left blank NO
security is used. Default value is blank (empty).

WHEN APPLYING NEW SETTINGS – In order new settings to take effect, it is necessary to

HOW TO CONNECT TO THE RDS CONSOLE

The RDS console is used to edit the RDS settings in real time. It can be used with an automation
software or a terminal program.
To use the console, follow the steps listed below:
1. Connect to the TCP port of the RDS console with a terminal program or an automation
software;
2. A welcome message HELLO will be received if proper connection is established;
3. If password is needed, the following message will appear PASS?;
4. Proceed with entering the commands.

RDS Console syntax

HELLO
pass8
PASSOK
PI=12348
OK
PI?8
1234
OK
TP=38
NO

Depicted above is a sample RDS console conversation when a password is not set. The red text
represents the user input and the black text - the console’s responses. The 8 symbol represent the
Enter key on the keyboard.
• First row – is the welcome message from the RDS console. Next the user types in the
password (in this case ‘pass’), followed by Enter.
• Third row is the response meaning that the password is accepted and the user may proceed
with commands.
• Fourth row is a ‘set’ command. These types of commands are used to set new value to
RDS parameters. In the example above ‘PI’ is the Program Identification command, ‘=’
(equal sign) means set new value and ‘1234’ is the new value. The Enter key represents
command’s end and signals the RDS console to execute the command.
• Fifth row is a positive response from the RDS console. It means the command is accepted
and executed successfully.
• Sixth row is a ‘get’ command. These types of commands are used to return the current value
of RDS parameters. In the example above ‘PI’ is the Program Identification command, ‘?’
(question mark) means return PI’s value. The RDS console responds with the current value
(in this case ‘1234’) and positive response on the next row.
• Ninth row is again a ‘set’ command. In this case: Set Traffic Program to 3. The response is
negative because the parameter TP can only have value 0 or 1.

APPENDIX A
RDS: EUROPE VS AMERICA
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and its member countries originated the concept of
“Radio Data” transmission. The European RDS specification, CENELEC Standard EN50067, was
first published in 1984. It was revised in 1986, 1990, 1991 and 1992.
European RDS has grown in use following initial adoption of the Standard. RDS is nearly
universal throughout Europe; it is almost impossible to find a European FM broadcasting station
that does not carry a radio data subcarrier.
The popularity of RDS in Europe is very much in contrast with initial reluctance on the part
of US broadcasters to embrace this technology. This can be ascribed to material differences in
broadcasting practices.
Almost without exception, FM broadcasting in the United States is ‘detached’ and independent
- each station originates its own programming. America’s National Public Radio might be
considered as an exception, though for most of the broadcast day even NPR stations originate, or
at least schedule, their own programs.
Most of European broadcasting is similar to the concept of network radio that was common in
the US prior to the 1950s. In Europe, a central program originator may have many transmitting
facilities of modest power situated throughout the country, at several different frequencies to
blanket a designated service area. The European disposition, toward lower-power transmitters can
be found on the “local radio” level, as well.
The European concept of a service area equates to the US broadcaster’s market. The subtle
difference between these designations further characterizes broadcasting practices and ethics. RDS
benefits the European broadcaster through almost an altruistic endeavor to be of service to his
listeners. The US broadcaster is marketing his programming and is primarily interested in how he
can create additional revenue from RDS.

THE RDS SYSTEM

RDS is a digital data channel, transmitted as a low-level subcarrier above the range of the
composite stereo program signal in the FM baseband. The data transmission (baud) rate is
comparatively low, yet it is quite robust because of data redundancy and effective error correction.
It is not within the scope of this Manual to cover the details of RDS subcarrier coding and
modulation. For this, the reader is directed to the Specification appropriate to his location either
the CENELEC EN50067 Specification for Europe or the United States NRSC Specification. Since
the Manual will deal with specific implication of RDS implemented with the DB8009-MPX, it is
assumed that the user is familiar with the RDS concept.

APPENDIX C
HOW SHOULD I CONFIGURE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
MY DEVA DEVICE AND AN FTP CLIENT?

In order for a connection to be established the following setting should be applied:

1. FTP Server Settings

The built-in FTP Server has four important parameters that should be configured: Command
Port, Data Port, User name and Password. These parameters are to be used in the FTP client’s
connection configuration. Further information on how to change the FTP Server’s settings and
their respective default values can be found in the device’s User manual.

WE RECOMMEND the usage of FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org). This is a widespread

open source software distributed free of charge, hence available for downloading from the Internet.

NOTE: The FTP Server can manage only one connection at a time. The FTP Server works in
Passive mode. Hence, the FTP Client should also be set in passive mode.

2. IP Router and Port Translation Settings

If the connection to the device is made through a Network address translation (NAT) router or
firewall, the port forwarding feature of the router should be configured. The port forwarding is
usually set in the firewall section of the router’s menu. As each router has different port forwarding
procedure, we recommend you to refer to its complete manual. To allow proper data flow through
the router, the FTP Command and FTP Data ports should be open.

NOTE: The FTP port numbers to be used in the port forwarding feature configuration can be
found in the device.

3. Example of FTP Client (FileZilla) Settings

In some cases, FileZilla’s “Quick connect” feature is not able to connect with the DEVA unit.
That is why we recommend the device to be assigned in the program manually.
Enter the FTP Client and go to: File > Site manager > New Site. A dialog box requiring
obligatory information about the device will appear. Fill in the needed information and press “OK”.

Select “Transfer Settings” sub-menu and apply the settings as shown below:
