FM-531HD / May 2013

The GUI may now be started by selecting it from within the PC’s Start Menu Programs
list. Once the GUI starts it will appear as below, minus the metering and analysis activity
shown below because we haven’t yet connected the GUI to the FM-531HD!
In order to communicate with
FM-531HD the following conditions
must be met.
1. The PC has an Ethernet interface
and a cable is connected between it
and FM-531HD (a crossover cable
is NOT required).
2. The PC’s network interface is
enabled and is configured to be
on the same IP address subnet
as FM-531HD. The default IP
addresses for FM-531HD are
192.168.1.200 for hardware and
192.168.1.201 for the front panel.
These addresses cannot be used for
the PC hosting the remote GUI.
3. The FM-531HD is already powered
up and the front panel displays are
finished initializing and the screens
are active.
Once all of the above is in place, the GUI must be configured to talk to the FM‑531HD.
1. Place the mouse cursor in the upper part of the screen (where the controls are) and right
click. A popup menu appears. Mouse over the word Hardware on this menu and another
popup appears with the item Devices... at the top of the list. Select Devices... and the
Devices dialog appears.
In the event no FM-531HD units are listed, or
one is adding a further device, or adding one
for the first time,
Add brings up the Edit Device
dialog box, which asks for the new prospect’s
name and IP address.
2. In the Edit Device dialog we can give each
FM-531HD a unique name. We suggest nam-
ing each processor, perhaps using the station’s
call sign.
3. Enter 192.168.1.200 in the IP Address field and
click OK. The Edit Device dialog will close. With
the new device in the list highlighted, click on
the Select button of the Device dialog.
Once the Edit Device dialog closes, when the GUI’s Online button is clicked (to the right
of the Sound tab) the status indicator should change to say Online and the FM-531HD’s
name should appear inside the Device window underneath the Online status.
If the FM-531HD will be staying on its default IP address no other steps need to be
taken. If the IP address configuration needs to change to match the local network’s envi
-
ronment, please see the next section for how to accomplish those changes.
