GS-PPM003 NETWORK PPM MANAGER SOFTWARE DETAILS

The network PPM manager is the software that allows initial set up of the hardware. From this software it is possible to find all the GS-PPM003 subracks on your network, to name the subracks for future easy identification and to name and initially set up the audio inputs on individual subracks.

SCAN NETWORK BUTTON:
Pressing this button will allow the software to automatically locate all GS-PPM003 racks on the network. If no 'short description' has been set then serial no will be shown. Once hardware has been located it will be added to the 'Connect to' drop down list.

CONNECT TO:
In this drop down box select which GS-PPM003 you want to set up.

SHORT DESCRIPTION FIELD:
This allows a name to be given to a rack for easy identification. This name is displayed on the meters themselves.

LOCATION & CONTACT FIELDS:
These fields are user definable to make management and identification in large systems easier.    

CHANNEL NAME:
If a channel has been selected in the 'Channel Names List' then it will appear here. It's channel number and channel type can be selected. A new channel can be created by clicking on the 'Add Channel' button, entering a description, and selecting the channel number and channel type.

CHANNEL NUMBER:
This is the physical audio inputs number on the GS-PPM003 that is to be associated with the user defined channel name. There are a maximum of 6 stereo inputs or 12 mono inputs on each rack. These are labelled on the rack as channels 1 to 6.   

CHANNEL NAMES LIST:
This is the list of channel names that have been defined for a rack. This list appears in the meter software.

PERMANENT CONNECTION TAB:
Normally the GS-PPM003 only sends data across the network to a PC when the PC is running the meter software and has requested data for a particular meter. The permanent connection tab makes it possible to set up a GS-PPM003 to always transmit all its meter data across the network to a particular IP address.
