Installation
TemPageR 3E
The
‘Update’
button initiates the firmware upgrade process of the AVTECH
Device Discovery Utility. If a TemPageR 3E unit is not selected before left clicking
this button, a dialog will display asking for the IP address of the unit to upload
firmware to. Please see the ‘Upgrading Firmware’ section of the ‘Advanced Topics’
chapter for important instructions on the ‘Update’ feature.
The AVTECH Device Discovery Utility offers additional features accessible via a right click context
menu. This menu is accessible only when a located TemPageR 3E unit has been selected and the right
mouse button has been clicked. These menu options are described below.
The
‘Synchronize Time’
option instructs the TemPageR 3E unit to synchronize
with the time server specified in the ‘Time Server IP’ field on the ‘Advanced’ tab
of the ‘Settings’ screen. The time displayed on the TemPageR 3E ‘Status’ screen
and included in email alert notifications can only be updated by linking with a
network time server (NTP) on UDP port 123. If a time server is not available on
your network and access to a time server on the internet is not possible, AVTECH
has various help files available that explain how to configure a computer on the
local network to act as a time server for other devices. Visit AVTECH’s Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) to learn more.
The
‘Save Settings’
feature can be used to download the current configuration
settings on a TemPageR 3E unit for backup purposes. This feature can also be used
to quickly configure multiple TemPageR 3E units by configuring one unit,
selecting it, clicking the ‘Save Settings’ option, then selecting multiple units and
clicking the ‘Restore Settings’ option.
The
‘Restore Settings’
feature is used to restore a saved configuration created
using the ‘Save Settings’ feature to one or multiple TemPageR 3E units. When
selected, the user will need to select from a previously saved ‘.bak’ file located in
the ‘log’ folder of the ‘AVTECH Device Discovery Utility’ directory in order to
restore or update the settings on the TemPageR 3E unit(s).
Static-Only Networks
If the network that the TemPageR 3E unit will be connected to does not have automatic DHCP
IP address assignment, the TemPageR 3E unit will default to a ‘169.xxx.xxx.xxx’ IP address. The
AVTECH Device Discovery may or may not be able to discover your unit when it has obtained a
‘169 xxx.xxx.xxx’ IP address, depending on various network conditions. Follow the steps below to
assign an IP address to the TemPageR 3E unit that will be appropriate for your network.
1. Restart the AVTECH Device Discovery Utility and click the ‘Set IP’ button.
