Hello, John has just posted in the Software forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Connecting computer to EMT10. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5797-Connecting-computer-to-EMT10 Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** From the manual for the EMT10T that you can download from Melco. Attaching the peripheral to a network The EMT product line is compatible with Ethernet network technology. With Ethernet, peripherals connect to a wiring hub, and the hub connects to an EDS III or Wilcom computer. The hub is a small electronic device that contains a number of cable jacks and diagnostic lights. The peripherals, EDS III computers, and Wilcom computers can plug into any port on the hub. You can connect as many peripherals or computers as your hub can hold. If you have more peripherals or computers than your hub has ports, you can daisy-chain 2 (or more) hubs together. *Note: You may have as many licensed EDS III systems operating on an Ethernet network as you choose. Each computer running EDS III on the network must have a licensed EDS System (including the dongle) installed to operate properly. First powerup Diagnostic tests Every time the peripheral powers up, it goes through a series of diagnostic tests. A series of messages will flash on the display. These diagnostic tests verify the proper function of the peripheral's CPU and the network card (if present). After the tests, the BIOS revision level will be displayed; if you are running an Ethernet network and no EDS or Wilcom computer is on-line, the display may read: Insert Boot Disk. If any of the diagnostics fail, the CPU will halt and the machine will not boot. This indicates a problem with the CPU. Contact your Melco Service Representative. Configuring the peripheral The first time the machine is turned on, it must be configured with a peripheral program and unit name. This information is stored in memory and retrieved during each power up. If the peripheral is not configured correctly, it will not operate properly and may be damaged. The unit name is a unique address for each machine. The machine uses the unique EtherNet address as a default. You may change this to any 16 (or less) character name. Use a unique name for each machine if you have more than one machine on your network. To configure the peripheral: 1. Turn ON the power. 2. Ignore any message flashing on the LCD. 3. Press and hold at the same time within 12 seconds after you turn on the power. 4. Continue to hold the keys until the machine beeps, then release. 5. The LCD should display the model name; press or to scroll to the correct model name for your machine. 6. Press and the peripheral program is set. 7. Press or to change the characters in the name and press or to move to the next or previous character. 8. Press to set the unit name. The machine should now be properly configured. I hope this helps Iris Slack Slack Embroidery *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
