DeviceManagementUtilityofETM
OnPCweprovide DeviceManagementUtilitynamed ETM.exewhichis
executableprograminWindows32bitenvironments.ETMSetupToolis
usedtodetectandsetuptheinstalled converters.It usesUDPbroadcast
packetstoqueryandconfigureconverterson thenetwork.
When youactivatetool,itwilldetectexistenceofinstalledconvertersand
depicttheconverters’statussuchasIPaddress,SubnetMask,MAC
Address andDeviceID(see Figure3.1).
IfyourcomputerOSisWindowsXP version whichmeans “WINDOWS
Firewall”function inOSactivated.However,ETM.exewouldn’tdetectthe
converterIPaddress,youhavetotemperatelydisable “WINDOWSFirewall”
function.Afterfinishingsettingtheparameters,youcanrestart “WINDOWS
Firewall”function.
Due tonatureofbroadcastUDPpackets, ETMhasfollowingcharacteristics:

□Broadcastpacketsaren’tlimitedbysubnet.Even ifIPaddressofthe

still works fine.
