Easy Startup
To setup the Optidrive communication address
By default, the Optipad will try to communicate with the drive that has Address 1 in the network after powering up for the first time.
The Optipad will display
“Scanning for Drive 01.”
after power up, which indicates that the Optipad is searching for the drive with the
correct drive address in the network. Once the drive has been found, the message
“Load...”
will be displayed on the Optipad, which
indicates that the Optipad is reading the configuration information from the drive. Usually it will take 1~2 seconds for the Optipad to
read this information. After the data has been loaded, the Optipad will display the drive real time status.
