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 Backup ADMPCPU’s
Database
In a dual-MPCPU configuration, the backup CPU is
not in control of the switching bays. Therefore it is
not easy to see whether or not the data has been
preserved. To be able to see its 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 Backup ADMPCPU’s Camera
to Monitor Selections
In a dual-MPCPU configuration, the backup CPU is
not in control of the switching bays. Therefore it is
not easy to see whether or not the camera to
monitor associations have been preserved. 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.
3. Click on the
MPCPU > Status > Monitor
Status
option in the tree and wait for the
information to be filled in completely.
4. Verify whether or not every monitor has
camera one selected. If the associations have
not been preserved (all monitors have camera
one selected), they will have to be entered
manually with a keyboard using the following
procedure.
Manual Synchronization of the ADMPCPU’s
Camera to Monitor Selections
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
MPCPU > Status > Monitor
Status
option in the tree and wait for the
information to be filled in completely.
4. Using a keyboard attached to the system,
select each monitor and reselect the camera
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 all monitors on the
physical site.
Activating the Backup ADMPCPU’s
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.
