Using the Client Manager 

After completing the Client Manager installation, you are ready to configure your EtherAnt II system 
(commonly referred to as “EC”).  Begin at the Windows 

Start

 menu and choose 

Programs

.  You should 

see a folder called 

YDI

.  Select this folder and click on 

Client Manager

. 

Select EC – 

The first screen to appear is the 

Select EC

 screen shown in Figure 3.1.  This screen lists 

information about any devices associated in your network.  If there are no devices listed in the table, then 
you are not connected.  Click on the device you wish to configure.  Press the 

Select

button and you will 

be taken to the 

General Information

 window for that device.  The window will automatically update as an 

EC is discovered.  If an EC has been disconnected, the status for the EC will be changed to “Offline.”  If 
any user is logged in to an EC with the Client Manager, the status will change to “Busy” and no other user 
will be given access to that EC.  Once the logged in user logs out, the status will then reflect whether it is 
online or offline.
