24 Soft Panels — Instruction Manual
Section 4 — Prelude System Soft Panel Configuration
Procedure
1. Launch the application by double-clicking on the Soft Panels icon and
click
OK to the password prompt.
This will display the Soft Panels Console and, when the application is
first run, a virtual version of an XY panel. The panel will not be opera-
tional (
No Comm status) and none of the buttons will tally.
2. If not already selected, choose the Prelude System radio button on the
left to bring up the Prelude version of Soft Panels (
Figure 15 ).

3. If desired, select a different Panel Type (48B, BPS, etc.). The default XY
panel type provides access to all system crosspoints and is a good one
to use for initial Soft Panel operational testing.
4. If desired, enter a Panel Name and then click Apply Config to rename that
panel instance.
Note Every panel (hardware or software) in a Prelude system must have a unique
name.
5. Click Connect to Matrices . The Panel and Server connectivity indicator
lights should flash, but the Soft Panel will not yet be operational.
