After the timeout parameter has been set, touch the SAVE TIMEOUT button in the
lower left corner of the screen to save the new settings. Touch the RETURN button,
located in the lower right corner of the screen, to display the Setup Menu.

Panel Tracking

Panel tracking is a useful communication feature between touchpanels when more
than one touchpanel exists on the network. Panel tracking is enabled when the
PANEL TRACKING button, centrally located in the top row of the Setup Menu, is
selected. Selection is indicated with light gray text. When enabled, a given
touchpanel maintains communication in such a way that a page change to any
touchpanel on the network forces the same page change to all enabled touchpanels.
Panel tracking is disabled when the PANEL TRACKING button is deselected.
When disabled a given touchpanel does not respond to page changes made to other
touchpanels on the network. Panel tracking is factory set with the PANEL
TRACKING
button deselected.

Interface Menu

The touchpanel communicates with a control system to activate other controls or to
display feedback from components within the system. The communication interface
must be correctly specified or communication will not occur. To set communication
parameters select the INTERFACE button located in the upper left corner of the
Setup Menu and display the Interface Menu, shown below.

Interface Menu

The Cresenet network identity number (NET ID) is displayed in the upper-most
rectangle of the Interface Menu. NET ID is the two-digit hexadecimal number
represented by ## in the figure for illustrative purposes. The hexadecimal number
can range from 03 to FE and must correspond to the NET ID set in the SIMPL
Windows program of the Cresnet system. Matching NET IDs between touchpanel
and SIMPL Windows program is required if data is to be successfully transferred.
NET ID is factory set to 03.

Two side-by-side buttons beneath the hexadecimal display, < CRESNET ID and
CRESNET ID >, decrease and increase the NET ID by one, respectively.

The touchpanel usually communicates with a Cresnet system. Occasionally the
touchpanel can be used in a local demo mode where it merely displays various
menus, but does not communicate with Cresnet II system. In local mode, the
directory buttons change pages, but buttons requiring feedback do not work. Two
centrally located buttons on the Interface Menu, LOCAL and CRESNET II,
determine communication mode. Select Local to set the touchpanel into demo mode
and CRESNET II for normal Cresnet communication mode. Text within the
selected button changes color from black to light gray. Communication mode is
factory set to CRESNET II.
