Barco Event Master E2 Lite, User Manual

Page: 73 / 330

R5909934 /00 E2 Lite and EC-40 73
Description
The panel in this area has three tabs:
• Discovered: Lists all of the devices discovered on
the local network, regardless of the selected
System.
• In use: Lists the devices in the selected System.
Note: When the Discovered tab is selected, the Event
Master ToolSet Software will continuously send a UDP
broadcast over the network to locate devices (every 5
seconds).
Next to the device name an LED indicates the status of
the unit:
• Yellow : Found in network but not assigned
• Green: Assigned and currently has an open or
active communication port
• Red: Assigned but currently has errors trying to
communicate (heart beat communication failure,
TCP connection dropped, etc. )
• Orange: There is a configuration error with the unit:
- Input / Output cards not right justified. Refer to
the corresponding section below of the card
placement rules and error color code.
- Input / Output configuration mismatch with the
actual unit. Refer to the corresponding
configuration section of the card placement
rules and error color code.
The small arrow in each device opens a detail menu for
the device, stating most notably the ID of the unit who
is used when units are linked.
In the most of the case, devices are automatically detected and the user just need to add the new device via
drag and drop into the system diagram (see
How to add a device into the selected system below). But,
under certain circumstances in Network communication the normal UDP based auto detection of Event Master
Compatible Devices might not work. A firewall or a tightly configured switch are examples. In that case a
Manual direct TCP/IP request can be sent to a specific IP Address (see
How to manually add a device into
the selected system below).
How to add a device into the selected system
1. Left click on the device to be assigned to the selected system.
2. Drag it to the System diagram area.
