About linked units

Event Master Toolset will detect when a link card is physically connected to another unit. A dummy outline of a unit will be created below the connected unit in the central work area. When the physical connections are made, then the software can detect the IP address of the linked unit.

If the unit will be used without the linked unit, then the dummy outline can be ignored.

Host and client

Event Master Toolset expects the host to have the unit ID set to ‘0’. The unit ID of the client must be different than the host. It is not possible to change the unit ID of any unit after the linked system has been created. A unit must be removed and added back to change the unit ID.

Removing a unit

Removing a unit from the link will cause the remaining unit to become a stand-alone host. This allows for another unit to be swapped in or to change the client - host relationship of the units.

Click on the x at the top of the desired unit to remove it.

Synchronizing the linked units

Synchronizing units will refresh the client unit(s). Any modifications to the outputs or card layout will be refreshed and visible in Event Master Toolset after refreshing.

Click the reset icon () at the top of the host unit to synchronize the client.

Prerequisites

One of the units, preferably the host, must be added to the central work window and the units must be physically linked with link cables. For more information, see:

• “System creation”.
• “Linking two Encore3s”.

How to create

1. Enter the unit ID of the unit by clicking the edit icon () after UNIT ID:

   

2. Must the unit be added as a host or a client?

   • If host, click the Add as Host button.
   • If client, click the Add as Client button.
   

   Tip: This can not be changed while the units are linked in Event Master Toolset.

   

   

   The configuration will be created and the units will be synced to each other. This may take several minutes.
