7. For every under monitor display you want to operate, click Add UMD Device to add a
new row to the table from which you can then edit the information in each column. Each
device is assigned its own device number; that is, the Device column is filled out
automatically, starting with one (1), and is not used in the service’s configuration.
8. The Channel Index lets you associate a device with a device channel index in Command.
Options in this drop-down list include numerical values of one (1) through 16. The
channel index, which corresponds to a playout channel, is set in Command’s System
Setting dialog box under the Channel > Indices category. You can access that dialog box
by clicking Tools > System Settings.

Four columns shown in the previous graphic (Type, Hostname/IP, UMD Address, and Tally)
relate to the TSL plug-in. If an alternative third-party plug-in is used, what you see might
vary.
9. Set the Type according to what kind of UMD device you are using. The Type column
can be set to one of three options:
t Single 8 for 8-character display
t Dual 8 Left for 16-character display, access leftmost 8 characters
t Dual 8 Right for 16-character display, access rightmost 8 characters
t Single 16 for 16-character display
10. The Hostname/IP column is most commonly set to tallyman, but can be an IP address
instead of the device’s hostname. The device service uses port 8900 by default; however,
if a different port needs to be specified, you can add it to the end of the hostname, such
as tallyman:1001.
11. The UMD address can be set to numerical values of zero (0) through 126. When using
TallyMan, except for Dual 8 Left and Dual 8 Right types, which share an address, each
UMD device should have a unique address.

If you do not know the UMD address for your device, unplug and reconnect the Ethernet
connection. Watch the device’s display; it will show its UMD address as Addr plus a
numerical value, such as: Addr 001.
12. The Tally column is a drop-down list that relates to tally indicator control for Command.
Its options are: one (1) through two (2). UMD devices often have two tally indicator
lights. If set to one, Command will use the left light. If set to two, the right tally light is
used. For TallyMan, however, you will have to choose which light to use when you set
up the TallyMan.
13. Click Apply. You can then close the Avid Service Configuration application.

You can reconfigure UMD devices without having to restart the device service.
