The currently loaded presets on the multiviewer are loaded.
If the multiviewer cannot be connected, check that there is no firewall blocking access and that the
PC’s IP address is set to the same subnet as the multiviewer.
If the multiviewer is not local, or if it is more convenient, a new address can be assigned using
ZConfigurator over a LAN, but the current IP address must still be known.
The default address is usually 192.168.1.250, but it can be discovered by watching its DVI output during
boot up when it is displayed for a few seconds. It can also be obtained from the front control panel
under
System Information
as explained in Viewing the Multiviewer IP Address (on page 92).
It is recommended to assign new units an appropriate and unique IP address at the time of installation
and to maintain an accessible list of numbers assigned.
For completeness, the recommended IP address configuration procedure using ZConfigurator is listed
below.

multiviewer you wish to connect to, you must change the IP address of the PC so that it does.
To discover the current IP address of a Predator
II
GX module, proceed as follows:
1.
Connect the Predator
II
GX LAN port via TCP/IP using a direct Ethernet connection (single
multiviewer) or via a LAN (multiple multiviewers)
2.
Power the Predator
II
GX and wait for the front panel LCD to show the current preset.
3.
Then access
System Information >> IP address
and make a note of the address.
Alternatively, make a note of the IP address shown on an attached display monitor during power-up.
To continue the first time connection procedure:
