Device Management Utility
On PC we provide a Device Management Utility named ETM.exe which is an executable
program in Windows 32 bit environments. ETM Setup Tool is used to detect and setup
the installed converters. It uses UDP broadcast packets to query and configure
converters on the network.
When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed converters and
depict the converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet Mask, MAC Address, and
Device ID (see Figure 3.1). The Setup Tool only can setup one converter at a time.
Thus if there are more than one converter on the network, please shut down or
disconnect other converters. Otherwise the ETM.exe can not detect the converter. Other
similar issues, you may reference to Q&A in
Appendix A.
Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, ETM has following characteristics:
□
□
□
Broadcast packets aren’t limited by subnet. Even if the IP address of the converters
and the computer running ETM do not belong to the same subnet, it still works
fine.
□
□
□
Broadcast packets can not pass routers. ETM can only be used to monitor devices
with computer running ETM in the same segment of local area network.
