If the P-TS7 is already associated with a Paradigm Processor it will automatically begin retrieving its configuration file when powered. Some standard ETC themes are loaded for you and will display beneath the “Theme” directory. Themes can be alternatively loaded to the touchscreen using removable media.
Saving and Loading Files To begin, you must have a compatible USB drive or SD media card (your choice) inserted into the respective receptacle of the touchscreen. 1. Select either {Config} or {Theme} (whichever file type you want to transfer). 2.
Note: When multiple touchscreens are installed into your system, they must each have a unique IP address. For example, 10.101.15.101, 10.101.15.102, etc. Duplicate IP addresses will cause system communication problems. • In Automatic Mode the touchscreen is configured to obtain an IP address and other network settings automatically from a connected DCHP server.
