The Smarteye Netx Control Unit has now been successfully configured.  Repeat this step for 
each Netx control unit present on the network.   

 

 

1.  From the discover tab, after a unit has been configured, it will show up in the grid each 

time the search button is clicked. 

2.  The clock button enables the time sync function of the search and discover process.  

When the clock button is in the detent state and the search button is clicked, the current 
date and time of the PC is sent to each Netx Control Unit found on the network.  When a 
Netx unit detects this date/time data packet in the discovery message, it synchronizes its 
internal clock to match. This feature is useful in systems that do not have an automatic 
timeserver on the network.
