When adding a new display, you must enter for it the following basic data:

the display's name – choose any one you like, however, it is obligatory that you enter it (a
name is important especially when several displays are connected: it is exactly through their
respective names that you have access to individual displays in the network;

serial number – it is fixed and unchangeable for each display. You can find it in the display's
menu or read it at the enclosure's rear;

IP Address – the address determined by the existing network; which you have entered in the
display. Example: 192.168.0.25. With the displays that do not have a network connection
(using only the serial port) you should leave this field empty.
The automatic search is started by clicking the button
»Network display search«. The program
returns a number for the displays found. All new found displays are added to the display list.
