Event Master Configuration for Three E2s
1. Start the Event Master Toolset version 5.1 or higher.
2. Make sure that the three E2s are discovered on the network and that they have different Unit IDs.
3. Drag and drop any one of the three E2s in the GUI.
The three linked E2s will be graphically represented in the Detail View area. The unit which was dropped will
show on top of the other two units, which appear grayed out.
You will be presented the option to add either of the grayed-out units as a master or as a slave.
4. Select either add as a master or add as a slave.
Once the system synchronizes the two units that are added to the system, you will be presented the option to
add the third unit, at the bottom of the stack in the GUI's Detail View, as the Master or as a Slave.
5. Select either add as a master or add as a slave.
6. (Optional) At this point it is suggested that you select and name appropriately each E2 so that you can identify
it in your setup.
How to Link an E2 Unit to an EX Unit or to Two Daisy-Chained EX Units
Each E2 comes equipped with two Link cards, always located in slots 1 and 2. Link cards are identified by a
yellow stripe at the top. Each EX has two Link sockets. Make sure to use the locking mechanism and then
push each cable until it locks in place.
To link an E2 to an EX, connect the Link cables provided with each unit between the Link connectors as
follows:
• E2 VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 >> EX VP ID 1, Link 2
