Configuring the EMT 1
During the operation of the EMT 1, certain situations may arise when the peripheral
does not respond to keyboard commands. You may often recover from this type of
situation by performing what is called "Configuring" (or Re-configuring) the
embroidery peripheral.
You must also configure the peripheral any time you install a new CPU (Central
Processor Unit) printed circuit board.
Configuration is initially set at the factory. However, if for any reason the
configuration is not set properly, or if you have replaced the CPU board, you should
know how to set the configuration.
NOTICE:
Re-configuring your EMT 1 will clear the power fail rescue function for the
current situation.
There are two items that must be set in each EMT 1 Embroidery Peripheral before it
is used in the Melco system for the first time.
First you must set the Peripheral Program. The CPU PCB used on the EMT 1
Embroidery Peripheral may also be used in other embroidery peripherals produced
at Melco. Therefore, you must tell the CPU board what peripheral it is being used in.
If the CPU PCB is ever replaced, you must reconfigure the peripheral before using it
again.
CAUTION! If the EMT 1 is not configured with the correct Peripheral Program, it will
not run properly, and may become damaged.
The second configuration item is the Network Address. The address must be
different for each peripheral attached to an EDS II or EDS III computer or network.
There may be up to 64 (16 if using EDS II software) total embroidery peripherals
attached to any one computer, and each must have its own unique identification.
The EMT 1 uses an Ethernet network card which allows the address to contain the
numbers 0 through 9, all 26 English letters, three symbols (-, /, and *), or any
combination of these characters. The maximum number of characters that can be
used in the network address is sixteen.
Configuration Procedure
Refer to the operation manual for the procedure to configure or re-configure the
EMT 1 Embroidery Peripheral.
