the Windows Start Button, click All Programs,
and scroll down to MDAS-Pro. Then run the
“Find edlNet” program.
Make sure the box is checked for Only Marathon Products

QUICK START GUIDE
• Choose SOFTWARE PROGRAM, to begin the installation process of the
software.
• If for some reason, the CD program does not start, please go to START, RUN,
BROWSE (go to your cd-rom drive), and SETUP, to begin the installation
process.
• A screen will appear with the message Initializing Setup. You will be asked
where to install the program. The default is c:\programs\MDAS-PRO. If you
wish to install the MDAS-PRO program on a different drive or in a different
directory, type the drive and directory name.
• The installation program will now transfer files to your destination drive and
directory.
• Following the installation of the program files, a Marathon program directory
and two icons will be created: MDAS-PRO Software and the Alarm Monitor.

•
Click on the EDL-Net menu
item and select Admin, Add/
Remove Logger.
•
Click on Add to create a new
Logger definition. The “RF Logger
Add” window will open.
•
At this stage, leave settings as is and
click on Add Server. (We will return to
this window later.) the “Add Device
Server” window will open.
If you want to you can change the address to a new address that will not be
changed by the DHCP server. This should be done with the help of your IT department. If you change the address, or other information in A, click on Change and
click on C. Click on Click to Reboot to reboot the logger.
Before leaving this form make a note of the “Logger Port Address” this will be
used later.
For the Alarm Monitor to work the logger needs to know where to send the alarm
message. The Alarm Monitor software should be run on a computer that is on 24
hours a day. The IP address of that computer running the Alarm Monitor software
is entered as the “Host IP Address” on the form. Note that on the form the entry
is represented as Address:Port. The default port is 49999.
Also be aware that the computer running the Alarm Monitor program may have
a firewall also running. This firewall will probably block messages coming in on
port 49999. You will need to modify the firewall settings so that messages coming
in on port 49999 go to the Alarm Monitor.
Close the browser window.
