CE790 GUI Operation


Overview
A CE790 installation can be managed via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on
a computer running a Windows operating system connected on the same local
area network. To use the GUI management utility, you must install two types
of software on a computer(s) that is not part of the CE790 installation. This
procedure is detailed in the following sections.

Before You Begin


Use the instructions below to install both applications on a computer(s) that is
not part of the CE790 installation. Computers installed with the software that
are used to manage the CE790 installation must be connected to the same local
area network as the CE790 installation. You must install the WinPcap
application first and then install the CE790 AP.

WinPcap
The CE790 GUI is a WinPcap-based application. WinPcap is the industry-
standard tool for link-layer network access in Windows environments. For
further information, go to www.winpcap.org.
To install WinPcap on your PC, do the following:
1. Download the WinPcap executable file from the website, and run it.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen. The installation applet will
automatically detect the operating system and install the correct drivers
3. WinPcap-based applications are now ready to work. Download the CE790
AP as below.

CE790 AP
To download the WinPcap-based CE790 AP in order to use the Browser GUI
to manage your CE790 installation, do the following:
1. Download the CE790 AP from the ATEN website (www.aten.com).
2. Save the file to a convenient location.
3. Click on the file to open the CE790 GUI.

only)
Š IP Address – The unit’s IP address can be changed here.
Š MAC – The unit’s MAC address displays here.
Š Topology – The unit’s topology can be configured here. Options are
Multicast and Unicast.
Š Select Multicast if you want the selected CE790T to be able to connect
to multiple CE790Rs.
Š Select Unicast if you want the selected CE790T to be able to connect
to a single CE790R only.

Backup Receivers

The Backup Receivers section displays the backup CE790R Receivers for
selected CE790T Transmitters, depending on the CE790T’s topology (see
page 7).
Š If the selected CE790T is configured as “Unicast,” you can set one
CE790R as Backup 1. The CE790T will attempt to connect to this backup
CE790R if it loses the connection with its current CE790R for more than
five seconds.
Š If the selected CE790T is configured as “Multicast,” you can set two
CE790Rs as Backup 1 and Backup 2. The CE790T will attempt to connect
to Backup 1 if it loses the connection with its current one for more than
five seconds; then it will try Backup 2; then Backup 1 again, and so on.

Log

The Log section displays all the events that take place in the Browser GUI, in
addition to displaying error messages.
