Thanks Greg, That was very useful. I'm afraid all my questions are all newbie. Units are running fine. Has anyone tried frying an egg on them yet though? Gosh, they get hot don't they..... Is there an option to export the settings to a backup file? Or did I miss it?
Cheers.

Hi Kirk, The documentation is a little thin at the moment, but most of the newbie questions are answered somewhere on this list or on matterhorn-users. The UI for the units is at http://$your_ecd/ (for live streaming) and http://$your_ecd/admin (for administration and configuration). This, of course, is not helpful if you can't get the device on the network, or can't find it on said network. The update which enabled the MAC writing is somewhat new, although I'm not entirely sure when it went into release. Worst case you can give it a try and nothing happens :) If the MAC writing doesn't work then there are three options, depending on your network configuration: 1) You can download Epiphan's network discovery tool. This will find any ECDs on the same /24 subnet as the machine running the tool. E.g: 192.168.1.1 will be able to see an ECD on 192.168.1.12, but not 192.168.2.12. Note that this limitation is just in my experience, it's possible that my campus network blocks the scan from going further than that. 2) You can do the above, but with a router that's not hooked up to the campus network (and thus pretty much guaranteed to be in the same subnet). This is probably the easiest and fastest depending on how draconian your local IT policy is. 3) You can email Epiphan support and they will email you back with the MAC address.
