Getting started
processing, storage, forwarding and protocol conversion and well as digitiser
and instrument configuration and control facilities.
Unless ordered otherwise, the EAM-R is supplied pre-configured to:
•
acquire a DHCP or APIPA network address;
•
collect GCF data from all seven USB connectors (this is, in fact, entirely
automatic and not configurable);
•
synchronise its own clock to connected digitisers; and
•
provide a Scream server on the default network port (1567), forwarding
all collected data;
In many situations, this means that you can start using your EAM-R
immediately with no further configuration.
There are, however, many other features of Platinum firmware on the EAM-R
which you may wish to explore and enable. Full details are provided in the
Platinum manual, MAN-EAM-0003, which should be read in conjunction
with this document and is available for download from
www.guralp.com/documents/MAN-EAM-0003.pdf
.
The rest of this section discusses features of the EAM-R which differ from or
are not mentioned in the Platinum manual.
2.3.1 The LCD display
The front-panel LCD display is not mentioned in the Platinum manual: it
scrolls through several pages of status information, showing the same content
as the “System status” page of the web interface, as well as the current IP
address.
2.3.2 The FLUSH button
The “FLUSH” button on the front panel is not mentioned in the Platinum
manual. Pressing this button has exactly the same effect as clicking the
“Flush to storage” button in the “Tools” “Storage and recording” page of the
→
web interface, causing recorded data to be flushed from the ring-buffers to the
tertiary (or external) storage device. USB storage devices, such as USB
“thumb drives” may be connected to any of the USB ports for this purpose:
see the following section for more details.
2.3.3 Connectors
2.3.3.1 Console
The CONSOLE connector is not configurable via Platinum: it is permanently
configured as a terminal running at 38,400 Baud. You can access the
command line of the EAM-R by connecting a terminal emulator to this port.
