OFF-LINE Operating Without AN EF Device

OPERATING CONFERENCE COMPOSER

NOTE

Figure 4. Project gen- erated when connected to a Vortex.

Figure 3. Select AUTOSCAN to have Conference Composer automatically find online devices.

If you have any devices currently using the serial port on your PC, such as a PalmPi- lot’s HotSync, please close those programs to free the COM port before running

AUTOSCAN.

AUTOSCAN will automatically find all EF devices (EF2280, EF1210, EF200) attached to the RS-232 port and then automatically download all the settings into Conference Composer. Once the settings have been downloaded to the PC, any changes you make to the device through Conference Composer will be sent automatically to the device, updating its configuration in real-time.

Once Conference Composer has finished downloading the settings from the con- nected devices, you will see the Navigation area look like Figure 4. The amount of time it takes to sync with the Vortex depends on the number of presets that have valid data. More presets means more data must be sent to the PC.
