SECTION 5:
GETTING STARTED
5.1
THE MAXPRO-Net SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
HD Subrack and VideoBloX switchers are connected to a MAXPRO-Net Server through
the Serial Communication Port.
Keyboards can be connected to the MAXPRO-Net Server through the Serial
Communication Port or through Ethernet connection. If the keyboard is connected to
MAXPRO-Net through Ethernet, then the IP address of MAXPRO-Net Server needs to be
set in the keyboard.
Other video input devices such as cameras, standard devices, etc., and video output
devices such as monitors, VCRs, etc., are connected to the subrack or VideoBloX
device.
5.2
THE SETMAX CONFIGURATION EDITOR FOR MAXPRO-Net
The SETMAX configuration editor is used to edit the MAXPRO-Net system configuration.
Please refer to the MAXPRO-Net Software Configuration User Guide for detailed
information.
5.3 MAXPRO-Net
Licensing
On New Installation
On the first installation, the product is licensed for a trial period of thirty days. During this
period, the message “LIC:XX_DAYS_LEFT” is displayed during start up on all monitors.
This message is also written to ErrorLog.
Any MaxMon, which connects MAXPRO-Net during this period, will always show “Trial
license XX days remaining” in the status bar.
Any SetMax, which connects to MAXPRO-Net during this period, will show the message
box “Trail license. XX days remaining before license expires.”
When the number of days remaining become less than or equal to 5 days, every 30th
switch operation results in message “LIC:XX_DAYS_LEFT” to be displayed in the mode
line of all the monitors and ErrorLog. This indicates that the user needs to update the
system license.
