radio button. Note that if this option
is selected, IP addresses and network information about all connected matrices must have been entered in the

Uploading Data
It is possible to upload information from the MegaPower 48+ system to Easy48. To do this, either select the
Upload
option from the
File
menu or click the
Upload
button on the toolbar. The
Upload
dialog is displayed:
Data can be uploaded from the PC to the MegaPower 48+ via an Ethernet connection or an RS232 serial port connection
(see page 6). If using a serial port connection at a setting of 38400 baud, the upload can take from 5 minutes in a Mode
1 system configuration up to 20 minutes in a Mode 3 system configuration. All uploads via an Ethernet connection
should take less than 4 minutes, so this is the recommended upload method.
