ETC Unison Mosaic Designer v1.11.0 - Manual (Page 143)

Network - Controller association
Once all your project Controllers have been associated with real Controllers you can configure them, test your pro-
gramming on the installation itself and finally upload to the Controllers for stand-alone operation.
Time Server
One Controller in your project must be allocated as the Time Server, the first project Controller added is chosen
by default. The Time Server is responsible for network playback synchronisation and for issuing realtime and
astronomical clock triggers. To set the correct date and time set, see
Controller Configuration .
To change the Time Server:
1. Select the project Controller which is to become the Time Server
2. Press the Set as Time Server button in the Controller properties pane
Web interface tools
To view a Controller's web interface:
1. Select the Controller
2. Press the Web Interface button on the Controller toolbar
3. Your PC's default browser will open the Controller's
home page (or custom page if one has been created)
To create files for uploading via the web interface:
1. Use File > Save Snapshots
2. Use the file dialogue to chose a location to store the generated files
3. A file for each project Controller is created: "projectname.controllerserial.wrn" (MSCs) and "pro-
jectname.controllerserial.avc" (AVCs).
IMPORTANT: Controllers must be running the same version of firmware as the Designer software. Uploading a
project file to a Controller running different firmware may result in the project failing to load and run. Check the
Controller's home page to determine compatibility before attempting a remote upload.
File transfer
This feature allows you to use the Controller's memory card as a remote memory device for file storage and
retrieval, typically the exported Designer project file to ensure that this remains on site with the installation for
future maintenance. Note that files to be transferred in this way must adhere to the MS DOS 8.3 naming con-
vention.
File transfer should not be confused with Upload .
To transfer files to and from a Controller's memory card:
1. Select the Controller
2. Press the File Transfer button on the Controller toolbar
3. A file browser will open to allow you to move files to and from the Controller's card, the password will be
required to gain access if one has been set
4. Close the file browser to finish
