4.1 System and Teaming ports: Initial configuration
Agility Dual with VNC units are designed to be as flexible as possible and this principle extends also to their configuration.
4.1.1 Direct linking
Where Agility transmitters and receivers (all models) are directly linked to each other, very little configuration action is required,
provided that they have their factory default settings in place. If the standard settings have been changed in a previous installa-
tion, you merely need to perform a factory reset on each unit (see below).
4.1.2 Networked linking
Where Agility transmitters and receivers (all models) are connected via networked links, you can either configure them individually,
or configure them collectively using an Agility iPath server:
•
Configuring networked Agility units individually
- You need to specify the network addresses of the Agility units so that
they can locate each other. This is done by running the
browser-based configuration utility
on a computer system linked
to the same network as the Agility units.
•
Configuring Agility units collectively
- The Agility iPath server allows you to configure, control and coordinate any number
of Agility transmitters and receivers from a single application.
IMPORTANT: When using Agility iPath to configure Agility Dual units, it is vital that all units that you wish to locate
and control are set to their factory default settings. Otherwise they will not be located by the iPath server. If neces-
sary, perform a factory reset on each Agility Dual unit (see below).
4.1.3 Manual factory reset
A factory reset returns an Agility transmitter or receiver unit to its default configuration. You can perform factory resets using the
browser-based configuration utility
or by using this direct manual method.
4.1.3.1 To perform a manual factory reset
1 Remove power from the unit.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-
hold the recessed reset button on the front panel. With the reset button still
pressed, re-apply power to the unit and then release the reset button:
After roughly eight seconds, when the factory reset has completed, five of
the front panel indicators will flash for a period of three seconds to indicate
a successful reset operation.
Use a straightened-out paper
clip to press the reset button
while powering on the unit
