Quick Configuration

If the screen, cabinets, data flow, and the number of cabinets loaded by an Ethernet port meet the following requirements, you can complete the screen configuration quickly with the LCD menus. Otherwise, you have to use the VMP software to complete the screen configuration.

• Screen: The LED screen is a regular one.
• Cabinet: The cabinets are regular ones of the same size and function well.
• Data flow: The data runs in the same way for all Ethernet ports and the data flow is one of the following. The starting position of the data flow is the first cabinet of Ethernet port 1, and the connections are made in sequence according to the serial number of the Ethernet port.
  
• Cabinets loaded by an Ethernet port: If n ports are used to load the cabinets, the number of cabinets loaded by each of the first (n–1) ports is the same and an integral multiple of the number of cabinet rows or columns, and it is greater than or equal to the number of cabinets loaded by the last port.

Step 2 - Load a Cabinet Configuration File
