7.10 Configuration Menu > Initial Setup
General
In this procedure, you will run the Event Master Toolset Software (EMTS), verify communication between the
Event Master series processor (EMP) and the program to the local network and perform basic setup.
Prerequisite
• Ensure that you are familiar with the Configuration Menu. For details on this menu, please refer to
chapter “Configuration Menu”, page 109
Setup
1. Connect the PC running the EMTS to the same local network switch that the EMP is connected. Run the
EMTS, and the software should discover the EMP automatically. The unit is listed in the System configuration
page under the Discovered tab with the button on turning yellow.
2. Drag and drop the EMP from the device area into the middle diagram area.
3. 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.
4. (Optional) Select the EMP´s native vertical refresh rate from the “System Native Rate:” drop-down menu.
Default value is 59.94Hz.
