Event Master Configuration for Two E2s
1. Start the Event Master Toolset software.
2. Make sure that the two E2s are discovered on the network and that they have different Unit IDs.
3. Drag and drop either of the two E2s in the GUI.
Both E2s will be graphically represented in the Detail View area. The unit which was dropped will show on top
of the other unit, which appears grayed out.
You are presented the option to add the bottom, grayed-out unit as a master or as a slave.
4. Select either add as a master or add as a slave.
5. (Optional) At this point it is suggested that you select and appropriately name each E2 so that you can identify
it in your setup.
How to Link Three E2 Units
Each E2 comes equipped with two Link cards, always located in slots 1 and 2. Link cards are identified by a
yellow stripe at the top. Make sure to use the locking mechanism and then push each cable until it locks in
place.
Connect the Link cables provided with each E2 between the Link connectors as follows:
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 >> VP ID 2, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 [1]
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 2, Link 1 >> VP ID 2, Link Card slot 2, Link 2 [2]
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 [3]
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 2, Link 2 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 2, Link 1 [4]
• VP ID 1, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 >> VP ID 2, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 [5]
• VP ID 1, Link Card slot 2, Link 2 >> VP ID 2, Link Card slot 2, Link 1 [6]
See Image 6-46 for an example of the cabling between three E2 units.
