Machines Menu

Clear and Find

For a complete re-write of the Network page, select Clear, which clears all entries,
followed by Find. When Find is selected, a pop-up allows the search of selected, or all,
devices. Select those devices you wish to search for, or simply hit OK for all devices.
The system will then check that the appropriate devices are currently connected to the
network, and automatically enter their details in the ID#, Type, and Info columns.
Clear and Find are normally used only during installation or as maintenance tools.

Update

This is a useful service tool for the unlikely occasion when a device on the network has
lost communications with the J Series Computer. Stab on the Update box to get the J
Series Computer to poll the network for devices. As soon as communications have
been re-established, that device will appear in the table.

Serial

The serial machine control facilities, available on selection of Serial in the
MACHINES menu have been fully discussed in Section 3 – Machine Control.

SS Slaves

This menu is used to set up any ScreenSounds connected to the system. Normally this
will be carried out by the SSL commissioning engineer and the following paragraphs
are for information only.
Selecting SS Slaves in the MACHINES menu calls up the ScreenSounds Slaves Setup
menu (see opposite). Stab on Load Network. This causes the system to check the
network and display any connected ScreenSounds on this pop-up. Now the physical
bay(s) of the console, to which the ScreenSound(s) is (are) connected, must be
specified. Stab on the box to the right of the ScreenSound Serial Number, and another
pop-up will appear with a list of console bays; stab on the required bay.
The Disabled box must be toggled to Slave to put ScreenSound on-line. To arm
Screensound for record functions, toggle the Rec box to red (this turns ScreenSound's
Multi-In on). Once all connected ScreenSounds are setup, hit Initialise S/S. This
activates the ScreenSound Multi Out function. The system is now ready for use.
