Upgrading the EASY CPU Configurator to
the Latest Version
Launch the EASY CPU installation executable and
follow the instructions outlined in the MegaPower®
CPU ADMPCPU Administrator’s Guide, 8200-
0421-03 for installing EASY CPU.
Verifying the ADMPCPU’s Database
In a single MPCPU configuration, the lone CPU is
always in control of the switching bays. Therefore
it is easy to see whether or not the data has been
preserved. If titles are used, they should be
indicated on the monitors. Tours and Salvos can
also be initiated to see if they are still available. To
be able to see more data at a glance, read the
entire database using EASY CPU Configurator.
1. Launch the AD EASY CPU Configurator.
2. Select
MPCPU > System > Options
and enter
the IP address manually in the
CPU
Addresses
section.
3. Click on the
File > Read…
menu to initiate a
read from the MPCPU.
4. Examine different categories of data to confirm
that the database has been preserved.
NOTE:
Multiple sessions of EASY CPU
Configurator may be launched, one having the
old database open to compare against the
recently read information.
Verifying the ADMPCPU’s Camera to
Monitor Selections
In a single MPCPU configuration, the lone CPU is
always in control of the switching bays. Therefore
it is easy to see whether or not the camera to
monitor associations have been preserved. If the
associations have not been preserved, all monitors
will have camera one selected. To be able to see
more data at a glance, initiate a Monitor Status
using EASY CPU Configurator.
1. Launch the AD EASY CPU Configurator.
2. Select
MPCPU > System > Options
and enter
the IP address manually in the
CPU
Addresses
section.
