CRSC
User’s Guide
The panels that have “paging” buttons are the CP6464 and CP32-6464. These are the panels that
can control networks that include CR6400 family routers. (The CP6401 also controls CR6400
family routers but does not have paging buttons.)
Panel Types
These are the panel types available in CRSC:
Briefly, the name of the panel indicates the number of sources and destinations that it supports
(in stand-alone mode). For example, the CP3204 has 32 source buttons and 4 destination
buttons. In stand-alone mode, this panel can switch (up to) 32 sources to 4 destinations. (In
CRSC mode, the buttons can be configured arbitrarily.)
In general, the panels whose names begin CP16 are 1RU panels, having space for a 2 × 16 matrix
of function buttons at the left and 6 function buttons at the right. Some panels have fewer
buttons than the space allows.
In general, the panels whose names begin CP32 are 2RU panels, having space for a 4 × 16 matrix
of function buttons at the left and 12 function buttons at the right.
These are the exceptions:
• The CP0808 is a 1RU panel having a 2 × 8 matrix at the left.
• The CP1602-CQX is a 1RU panel that works with the “clean and quiet” routers. The CP1602-
CQX is not configurable in CRSC.
• The CP3201 is a 1RU single-destination panel. It cannot be configured with destination but-
tons. It has a 2 × 16 button matrix at the left.
• The CP6464 is a 2RU panel capable of switch 64 sources to 64 destinations.
• The CP6401 is a 2RU single-destination panel. It cannot be configured with destination but-
tons. It has a 4 × 16 button matrix at the left.
The CP6401 is an artificial panel type. There is no physical CP6401. The CP6401 is a fiction
that allows CRSC to configure a (real) CP6464 as a single-destination panel.
• The CP32-6464 is another artificial panel type. The CP32-6464 is a fiction that allows CRSC to
configure a (real) CP3232 in such a way that it can control the 64 sources and 64 destinations
of CR6400 routers in a network.
Bulk Configuration
There are three conveniences that help you make panel configurations quickly:
• You can select multiple buttons in the panel image and perform button configuration oper-
ations on them all at the same time.
Your selection of panel buttons can be non-contiguous.
 If the buttons you select are of mixed type, the button definition section becomes blank
and requires you to select a button type for the multiple buttons.
• You can “auto-increment” the buttons you have selected. The factory-defined order of the
panel’s buttons affects the numbering that results from automatic incrementing.
