Controlling Multiple FS-5s At Once
The FS-5 provides the ability to simultaneously control the Record
and Stop functions of multiple FS-5s located on the same network.
Begin by linking the host FS-5 to the client units:
1. Begin by mounting at least two FS-5 2.0 units on a network.
2. Select one of the FS-5s to be the host.
3. Log on to the host and go to its
Entry page.
4. Select the metadata template to use from the
Default Template
dropdown list.
5. Click the
ADD button.
The
Link Units workspace expands to show the link parameters
for the first client FS-5.
Notice that the
Template option is permanently check-marked.
Any time the host FS-5 links to another unit, it transfers the
currently selected template to the client, regardless if the other
link options are selected or not.
For information about
Template and Log functions, see Logging
Metadata to Multiple 2.0 FS-5s
on page 38.
6. Enter the
IP address for the client FS-5.
7. Check-mark
Log if the host unit is to log metadata on the client
unit. Then any metadata entered on the host appears on the cli-
ent too.
8. Check-mark
Control.
The host unit can control the
Record and Pause operations on
the client unit.
