About system creation

Each created system is added to the multi-system list in the header. For more information on how to switch between systems, see “Multi-systems”.

If a unit is already connected to a system then the left panel will show a label with the name of that system. A checkmark in a circle will be added for systems that are currently connected to Event Master Toolset.

About unit(s)

When starting up, Event Master Toolset scans the connected network for compatible units. Previous connections and IP addresses are also recalled. These two are combined into a list in the left panel, where the following identifying information is displayed:

• Connection indicator.

  • Green indicator (): the unit can be reached and is ready to be added.
  • Red indicator (): the unit is offline or not connected.

• Name of the detected unit followed by the host-client relationship in brackets.

  • Host unit (H): the unit is configured as a host.
  • Client unit (C): the unit is configured as a client.
• Last known or current IP address of the unit.

• Name and connection status of the system the unit is a part of, if applicable.

  Note: It is not possible to add the same unit to multiple systems.

Clicking on the expansion arrow () will show the full details of the unit.
