Configuration
Connecting to Digital iPEPS
Connection to (and configuration of) Digital iPEPS is carried out ov\
er a network, 
using a VNC Viewer program running on a computer or mobile device. VNC 
Viewers are available for most computers, tablets and smartphones.
•	 If	you	already	have	a	VNC	viewer,	please	follow	the	Initial	configuration	
instructions given on the next page.
If you do not already have a VNC viewer, there are three...

Initial configuration
To perform the initial configuration, you need to connect the Digital \
iPEPS to an 
IP network and use a computer located on the same network to connect to \
it.
To perform the initial configuration
1 Connect the Digital iPEPS to an IP network where a suitable computer is \
available on the same subnet (please see the Installation chapter for 
connection details).
2 Use a computer connected to the same subnet of the...

Performing a flash upgrade
The firmware in Digital iPEPS is fully upgradable and there are two me\
thods that 
you can use:
•		 The	remote	method,	or
•		 The	‘dip	switch’	method.
The most streamlined upgrade procedure is the remote method because it i\
s 
carried out completely from a remote system. The ‘dip switch’ meth\
od is useful 
because it can be carried out even if the firmware within the Digital \
iPEPS unit 
has been corrupted....

Operation
Using the viewer window
Once connected to the Digital iPEPS via the VNC Viewer (please see Connecting 
to Digital iPEPS for details), the viewer window gives you the ability to view 
and control the Digital iPEPS and its host computer(s). Its operation \
is almost 
identical	regardless	of	whether	you	used	the	VNC	viewer	or	your	Java	viewer	to	
display it.
The menu bar
The viewer window presents a menu bar similar to that shown...

Host selection
The Hosts button on the menu bar provides the quickest and most effici\
ent way 
to switch between host computers. This is because the button is close at\
 hand, 
but also because the screen calibration details for each host are reused\
 when 
this method of switching is used. 
Note: The Hosts button is displayed only when the switching details for \
two or 
more computers have been declared within the configuration section...
