number visible in the camera number section 
of the keyboard.  Please reference the EASY 
CPU Configurator monitor status to determine 
if there were any tours loaded for particular 
monitors and initiate the corresponding tours 
once again.  Leave it running or pause it as the 
monitor status dictates. 

5.  Repeat the process for on all monitors on the 

physical site. 

Activating the Original ADMPCPU (Now as 
Backup) 

After confirming that the camera to monitor 
associations have been restored, select the 
upgraded unit as Active with the Port Module’s soft 
select switch.  Allow it to run as active sufficient 
time to ensure confidence that it is programmed 
correctly.
