[EAS] Version 89 - required?

[Harold Price]

Tom,

The new ENDECSETD works exactly the same way as the old one.

If you download and save from the web browser, the browser decides 
what folder the file goes into by default - where that is depends on 
the browser.

If you download and "open" from the browser, the browser again 
decides where the file is going, and that is usually in some 
temporary folder.  You should do a "save as" from ENDECSETD to be 
sure you can find the file again.

Yes, if you assign a fixed IP address to the ENDEC, and you make a 
network change that invalidates the address, you will need to give 
the ENDEC a new address. This would be the same for any other device 
on the network with a static address. If you use DHCP, you are 
protected against that, but not everyone can use DHCP.

If the ENDEC can't poll the server, it will flash an LED on the front 
panel, and send a message to the front panel MSG buffer and will send 
an email (though not very well it is can't get on the internet).  It 
will also give status on its web page (again, you'll need the 
network).  It will stop logging the CAP RWTs, via printer, ftp, 
email, front panel, USB) however, and someone at the station should 
be looking for those and notice they are missing.
