7.10 Configuration Menu > Initial Setup
Prerequisite
- Ensure that you are familiar with the Configuration Menu. For details on this menu, please refer to chapter “Configuration Menu”
Setup
- Connect the PC running the EMTS to the same local network switch that the EMP is connected to. Run the EMTS and the software should connect to EMP automatically. The unit is listed in the System configuration page under the Discovered tab with the button on turning yellow.
- Drag and drop the EMP from the device area into the middle diagram area.
If multiple units are connected to the PC, the yellow LEDs next to the system will turn green. You can assign a unique name to each unit. Confirm that you are connected to the right unit by clicking the arrow in front of EMP to reveal the unit’s IP address. Verify that this address is the same as the address listed on the unit’s front panel on the top status menu.
Note: If the unit doesn’t connect automatically to the PC, you can type the PC’s IP address in the field under “Manual Connect”. A reason for this can be the PC´s firewall settings. Be sure to allow full communication for EMTS and EMP.- (Optional) Select the EMP´s native vertical refresh rate from the “Native Rate:” drop-down menu. Default value is 59.94Hz.
- (Optional) Select the EMP´s Genlock mode from “Genlock” drop-down menu. Default value is OFF.
