InstallatIon and operatIon 10
GETTING STARTED
•
Connect the displays to the WatCHpaX 4.
note: Both active and passive displayport adapters to dVI/VGa/HdMI can be used with
WatCHpaX 4. Use a passive adapter if you can guarantee continuous power-on for the projector/
display or are certain it will already be powered up when you connect the WatCHpaX. Use an active
adaptor if there is a risk that the projector/display will shut down while connected to a powered
WatCHpaX.
•
Connect the network to the WatCHpaX 4 using the ethernet port.
•
Insert the power cord to turn on the WatCHpaX 4. (Unit shall be connected to a grounded outlet.)
•
start WatCHoUt software on the production computer which is on the same network. Make sure
you are using version 6.1.3 or higher.
•
the WatCHpaX and any WatCHoUt display computers on the local network will be listed in
Window > Network
.
Assign display and cluster names (if required) by double-clicking an item in the
list, see screenshot.
IP NUMBER ASSIGNMENT
WatCHpaX automatically retrieves an Ip address via a dHCp server. If no dHCp server is available,
the WatCHpaX will get a self-assigned Ip address in the range 169.254.x.y
If you are using a control system, you may want to use a fixed Ip address for WatCHpaX. still in
WatCHoUt, assign a fixed Ip through the WatCHoUt protocol command “setIp” in the startup
script as shown below:
authenticate 2
setIP 192.168.0.32
Make sure you choose an Ip address in the correct subnet range. to remove the fixed Ip number, use
the same command but with an empty string parameter, as below:
authenticate 2
setIP
