Quick Start
A brief guide to getting your WATCHPAX 50 up and running.
- Connect displays to the WATCHPAX 50 using the Mini DisplayPort outputs (use the included MiniDP-to-DisplayPort adapters if needed).
- Connect the WATCHPAX 50 to the network using the Ethernet port.
- Power on the WATCHPAX 50 by plugging in the power cord.
The first time you power up a WATCHPAX 50 (after delivery or after a reset), the system will finalize its installation and reboot several times automatically. This process typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Do not disconnect power or interrupt the unit during this time. For full details, see Installation -- First Power On.
- Once the startup process is complete, all connected displays will show the WATCHOUT startup screen, confirming the unit is ready. See Start Up Screen for details on the information displayed.
- Start the WATCHOUT Producer software on the production computer, which is on the same network. Make sure you are using WATCHOUT version 7.
