File Transfer
This section will guide you on how to transfer and sync files between your Penstar eNote and other devices, such as your laptop, mobile phone, or iPad.
File Transfer Options
You can transfer files using one of the following methods:
- Wi-Fi Transfer (Recommended)
- Bluetooth
- Cable Connection (to Laptop)
Note: We recommend Wi-Fi Transfer for most situations, as it’s typically faster than Bluetooth and more convenient than a cable connection.
Using Wi-Fi Transfer
To use Wi-Fi Transfer, ensure both your Penstar device and the other device (e.g., your laptop or mobile phone) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 1. Start Wi-Fi Transfer
- Open the Wi-Fi Transfer app on your Penstar device.
- Tap Start Wi-Fi Transfer. A web address will appear on the screen.
Step 2. Connect via Web Browser
On your computer or mobile device, open a web browser and enter the address displayed on your Penstar screen. This establishes the connection.
Step 3. Transfer Files
Wi-Fi Transfer supports two-way file transfers:
- Send Files to Penstar: Transfer files from your computer or mobile device to your Penstar eNote.
- Receive Files from Penstar: Download files from your Penstar eNote to your computer or mobile device.
Step 4. End Wi-Fi Transfer
When finished, tap Stop Service on your Penstar device to end the Wi-Fi Transfer session.
Important Tips for Wi-Fi Transfer
- Keep the Wi-Fi Transfer Screen Open: Keep the Wi-Fi Transfer screen open on your Penstar eNote during the entire process, and ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection.
- Handling Cached Pages: If you encounter a cached page on the transfer website, try refreshing the page after reconnecting Wi-Fi on your eNote. This will ensure smooth file uploads and downloads.
By following these steps, you can easily transfer files between your Penstar eNote and other devices using Wi-Fi Transfer.
