CHAPTER 8: OSD FUNCTIONS
FIGURE 8-15. TRANSMITTER SETTINGS CONFIGURATION WINDOW - DISCOVER BUTTON
If the IP address of the Receiver and Transmitter are not on the same subnet, a router is required to allow them to communicate.
This is true even when the Receiver “discovers” the Transmitter’s IP address. One way to avoid this is to change the Receiver
address to be on the same subnet as the Transmitter, make the required configuration changes to the Transmitter, and then change
the Receiver back to its required IP address.
Transmitter Information
The Information button provides Transmitter related information such as Device Model, Serial Number, MAC address, and current
Firmware Version to the administrator.
If the active IP address is not the address of a valid Emerald Transmitter or this address is unreachable, an error message is
returned.
Transmitter Upgrade
The administrator can click the Upgrade button to change the firmware on a Transmitter. The upgrade file is selected from the set
of files on an attached USB drive. These files will have the extension .clu . The selected file is checked to be a valid Transmitter
upgrade file before starting the upgrade. The OSD provides a series of screens to walk the user through the process.
The upgrade can take a few minutes to complete and the power to the Transmitter and the Receiver must not be disconnected
during the upgrade. During the upgrade process, the Transmitter may reboot.
If the active IP address is not the address of a valid Emerald Transmitter or this address is unreachable, an error message is
returned.
