First Time Operation  
 
CPU Setup 
 
When MPU955 Admin Console is run the first time, the following window will appear

will let the MPU955 Admin Console software know where to send the configuration 
database later.   
 
2. If your system is equipped with a redundant CPU, then select the Redundant 
check box and enter the IP address for the Main B CPU

system’s components are less than the maximums listed for “Standard”, but you have 65 
monitors, you would need to select “Enhanced” as your system type. 
 
 
 
Enhanced

from that point forward works with copies of it in order to establish and maintain useful 
variations. 
 
 
At Installation 
 
When MPU955 Admin Console is first installed, an administrator must create and name a 
new database.  The database is stored on the MPU955 Admin Console computer’s...
