These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Comlabs may void your authority to operate this equipment. Introduction The EMnet CAP converter is a Windows PC that Reads in CAP files and outputs EAS audio formatted with FSK tones that can activate an EAS Encoder/Decoder that is listening to the audio from EMnet The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information required by this section may be included in the manual in that alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in that form. Installation The EMnet PC can be desk mounted or Rack mounted . Please allow room for airflow around the box Comlabs 750 North Drive, Melbourne, FL 32934 Tel 321 409 9898 Mount the computer Connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse Plug in Ethernet and optionally connect coax from the satellite dish to the Type F connector. Power up the box and Set IP address as required if not DHCP. Check Windows Update until fully updated RightClick the Satellite disk icon in the taskbar and choose ‘Reconfigure receiver” EMNET SETUP The EMnet receiver program is the heart of the EMnet messaging system. It is responsible for all communications and is designed to be running at all times while the computer is powered on. Once the EMnet software has been installed, the receiver program automatically starts when Windows starts. If Windows does not start, neither will EMnet! Be sure the computer is set to login automatically, so that it will never be stuck unattended at a login prompt! When the EMnet Receiver starts, the Initialization Dialog below appears for 30 seconds. Comlabs 750 North Drive, Melbourne, FL 32934 Tel 321 409 9898 You may also enter the Configuration dialog by right-clicking on the satellite icon and selecting Reconfigure Receiver. NOTE: Selecting Reconfigure Receiver will temporarily interrupt EMnet reception. Comlabs 750 North Drive, Melbourne, FL 32934 Tel 321 409 9898 If you choose to open the CONFIGURATION dialog, you may be required to enter the case-sensitive password. This will open the EMnet Receiver Configuration dialog. Click the checkbox next to “Data from a satellite downlink is present” if your station is using a satellite downlink. NOTE: Comlabs highly recommends that EMnet stations use satellite communication as well as TCP/IP to maximize speed, efficiency, reliability, and redundancy. HOWEVER, if satellite communication is not possible, your station may be configured to use TCP/IP only. If a satellite feed is present, the listen-on field will be grayed out and automatically filled in with your IP address, unless there are multiple network cards on the computer. If there are multiple network cards, the pull-down will allow you to select the one on which the computer can expect to find the satellite receiver. The Multicast Address will be filled in automatically with the value 224.7.7.7. The default Port entry is 7770. Use this port if you are using a 2-way Vsat system, an internal satellite receiver ca…
