Device Management Utility
On PC we provide a Device Management Utility named ETM.exe which is an
executable program in Windows 32 bit environments. ETM Setup Tool is used to
detect and setup the installed converters. It uses UDP broadcast packets to query
and configure converters on the network.
When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed converters
and depict the converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet Mask, MAC Address,
and Device ID (see Figure 3.1).
If your computer OS is Windows XP version which means “WINDOWS Firewall”
function in OS is activated. However ETM.exe wouldn’t detect the converter’s IP
address, therefore, You have to temperately disable “WINDOWS Firewall” function.
After finishing the parameters settings, You can restart “WINDOWS Firewall”
function.
Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, ETM has following characteristics:
□
□
□
Broadcast packets aren’t limited by subnet. Even if the IP address of the
converters and the computer running ETM do not belong to the same subnet, it still
works fine.
□
□
□
Broadcast packets can not pass routers. ETM can only be used to monitor
devices with computer running ETM in the same segment of local area network
.
