Author Topic: Question on Strong CNA-150 automation Ethan Harper E-dawggg!!! Posts: 325 From: Plano, TX, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 10-01-2003 05:21 PM                     Can anybody please tell me what the host program is and how to use it? I am having problems with some of these automations not turning on the slide projectors upon power up. According to the strong manual I can only change this by using the host program. Thank You, -Ethan  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-02-2003 03:48 AM                     The host program runs on a PC, and allows you to set up and program the automations remotely. It also gives show status. You need an interface card to connect the PC to the LSN. Word to the wise on this, get the external card with PSU, the internal card is an ISA and when did you last see a modern PC with any ISA slots?! The external card connect to the PC via a serial port. AFAIK you shouldn't need the host program to set the power up options, leastways you don't on the CNA 200.  |  IP: Logged
