8.10.3 Multi-unit systems

About linked units

Event Master Toolset detects when a link card is physically connected to another unit. A dummy outline of a unit is created below the connected unit in the central work area. When the physical connection is made, then the software can detect the IP address of the linked unit.

If the unit will be used without the linked unit, then the dummy outline can be ignored.

Host and client

Event Master Toolset expects the host to have the unit ID set to ‘0’. The unit ID of the client must be different than the host. It is not possible to change the unit ID of any unit after the linked system has been created. A unit must be removed and added back to change the unit ID.
