Network Monitors
Network Monitors congures the monitoring system for the network. Monitors are used
in conjunction with power control relays and attempt a recovery if a device becomes
unresponsive on the network. The power control relays must be congured under
the Peripherals menu before setting up the network monitors. Refer to Power Control
(p.30).
Network monitors ping the player to determine why the display is not working, possibly
eliminating the need for a service call. Refer to Figure 63.
