Linking
An Event Master unit can link with other
Event Master units. Depending on the
linking configuration, linked units share
inputs, and they expand the number of layers and outputs. For more information on linking, see Section 6.17 "Configuration Menu > Linking in the Event
Master Devices User's Guide, or see the instructional videos on the Barco Folsom IP YouTube site.

Link Connections
1. Check the cable orientation for keying. The cable fits in only one orientation.
2. Fully insert the cable into the connector on the Link Card.
3. If the cable resists full insertion, do not force it; pull the cable out, check its
orientation, and reinsert it.
4. Make sure that the latch is properly engaged.
5. Always use the release when removing the cable.
Improper insertion or removal of Link cables can damage the
connectors and is not covered under the product warranty.
Example: Linking a pair of E2s
Be sure that you properly align the Link cable connectors prior to insertion.
Connectors should insert easily with almost no resistance, until the lock is
about to engage. Be sure that the lock engages fully to ensure proper
contact. Make sure that you use the locking mechanism and then push
each cable until it locks in place.
1. Connect the Link cables provided with each E2 between the Link
connectors as follows:
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 1 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 1, Link 2
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 1, Link 2 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 1, Link 1
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 2, Link 1 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 2, Link 2
• VP ID 0, Link Card slot 2, Link 2 >> VP ID 1, Link Card slot 2, Link 1

2. Make sure that the E2s have different IP addresses.
The default IP address for each unit is the same; one of them must be
changed.
3. Connect all devices to network Ethernet.
4. Start the Event Master Toolset
version 4.0 or higher.
5. Make sure that both E2s are
discovered on the network and that
they have different Unit IDs.
If the system does not discover your
device, you may manually add it. See
"How to manually add a device into
the selected system" in the user's
guide.
6. Drop one of the E2s in the EM GUI.
7. Drop the second E2 in the EM GUI.
The EM GUI presents the options of adding the second unit as a new system,
as a master, or a as a slave.
