The name field will show the unit’s default name when connected. A user friendly name may be entered
which will be remembered by the unit.

used, but do not use any special characters such as ampersands (&), dashes (-) or slashes (/) (\).

Troubleshooting Failed Connections
Connected multiviewers with IPs in the same range as the PC are normally discovered automatically.
However, there may be times when a network scan has to be forced or a manual connection has to be
made or is preferred.
To force a
network scan
, proceed as follows:
1.
Right click in the
Device List
and select
Scan Network
or relaunch ZConfigurator.
ZConfigurator will only search for connected multiviewers at start-up if ‘Scan TCP/IP network at
application start’ is checked (default) under
User Preferences >> User Interface
.
To connect to a multiviewer
manually
, proceed as follows:
1.
With no multiviewer connection active, right click in an
empty
Device List
and select
Insert New
(or
press
Connect to...
) and type in the IP address of the unit to connect to.
The name field and TCP port field (normally 4001) are not used in this connect form.
