Optionally, Scout administrators may configure direct download of picture files to the devices into the screen saver’s picture directory. To do so, use the FileFetch tool, which downloads graphic files via wget.

Requires
The eLux® package FileFetch must be installed on the devices. This may require modifications of the image definition file on the web server via ELIAS.
The picture files must be located in the specified directory and have the file extension .gif, .jpg, or .png. The filename must be numeric. Examples: 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, 0003.png, 0004.gif

For the relevant devices, configure the web server and the directory of the picture files.To do so, choose the Advanced file entries feature of the Scout Console:


File	[/setup/terminal.ini]
Section	[FileFetch]
Entry	[URL]
Value	URL of the web server including path
Example	[http://webserver.sampletec-01.com/eluxng/pictures]

For further information, see Files configured for transfer.

The FileFetch tool checks on each device restart whether new picture files are available on the web server for download.
