    Device Management Utility of ETM On PC we provide Device Management Utility named ETM.exe which is 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 tool, it will detect existence of installed converters and depict the converters’...

    Menu “View” □ □ View -> Refresh F5 □ Refresh the status. ETM will send another query to get updated information (see the Figure 3.2). Note: Always run the “View-> Refresh” after change any data. (Figure 3.2) (Figure 3.2) View -> Exit Alt+F4 Exit from the program (see Figure 3.2).
  • Page 20 Press ENTER or select [IP Address] in the [Config] menu, dialog will be shown (see Figure 3.4). Note: Because ETM uses broadcast UDP packets for sake of security, it allows configuration only when device’s setup password is empty. (Figure 3.4) (Figure 3.4) Assign IP Address with the same Subnet Mask of your computer, avoiding any IP conflict with other network devices.
  • Page 21: Web Console Configuration

    Web Console Configuration In addition to basic IP address and subnet mask, specific device setting can be set through HTTP protocol with popular browsers, e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc. Setup converter as easy as surfing on WWW, no special software will be required.
