General

Use the following steps to power up your Event Master series processor and check system status.

Prerequisite

• Ensure that your system is properly installed and cabled.
• Ensure that you are familiar with the System Menu. For details on all menus, please refer to chapter “Front Panel Menu orientation”.

Power up system and check system status

1. Turn on the unit and wait while it initializes. During the initialization process the front panel displays: “Program Loading Please Wait”.

   The Status Menu is automatically displayed after initialization is completed.

2. Power up all peripherals, such as display devices (projectors, monitors) and sources.

3. Turn on the PC and run the Event Master Toolset Software.

   The system configuration page is the first page that appears when the Event Master Toolset Software is launched.

4. On the Status Menu:

   • System1 is the default value displayed as System Name if this is the first start of the unit. This name can be changed in the configuration page of the GUI.
   • Ensure the Event Master series processor is connected on the local network. If there is no internet connection, or if a DHCP server has not been found, the IP address is 000.000.000.000. In this case, re-check all Ethernet connections. After checking connections, if devices still report “Not Connected,” use the procedure “Communication setup”.
