Network Description
This screen has a table that is used to enter the facility and control LAN IP
addresses for each Maestro channel and control panel.
In some cases, these entries will vary. For example:
•
If no hardware control panel is present, addresses must be entered for
the GUI (actually, the addresses will apply to a PCI Panel Server board,
which acts as an interface between the GUI and the Processor). In these
systems, the PCI Panel Server is typically installed in the GUI PC.
•
If this is a multi-channel system, and the GUI will be used to control a
channel independently from any hardware control panel, then a dedi-
cated PCI Panel Server board must be present on the network to service
the GUI. The address of the PCI Panel Server would then be added to
this table. If there are multiple GUIs, and they will be used to control
channels independently, each must be served by a dedicated PCI Panel
Server board.

Name
In the Name field, create a name for the first board. For example, “Channel
1” for the Processor in the Maestro/Concerto frame.
The name can be up to 16 characters and is subject to Microsoft Windows
filename rules.
This entry is the source for the Channel Processor names on the Channel
Setup table (
), the Board Name on the Channel Server table
(
), and the GUI Name on the GUI Configuration table (
).
Board Type
Select the Board Type from the drop-down list. The options are, Frame (Pro-
cessor), Console (hardware control panel), or GUI control panel.
