4. CR Series Ethernet Setttings
Using the ‘CR Series Ethernet Settings’ page you can change the name, IP address, subnet mask, or
gateway IP address of any compact router or remote panel module. In order for routers and panels
to be able to communicate they must be part of a network. (Click ‘Show NVISION Products
Online’ to see a list of routers and panels on the network.) Each device has a unique IP address
assigned to it. For information on setting up the initial network, see
Creating a Network on page 8.
Routers and panels are also assigned a subnet mask. A subnet mask is an identifiably separate part
of an organization's network. Typically, a subnet mask may represent all the machines at one geo-
graphic location or on the same local area network (LAN). This manual assumes a basic knowledge
of networks. If you are unsure about any IP address, subnet mask or gateway information required,
contact your System Administrator.
CQX Routers — Separate Subnet
The CQX router must be operated with a CQX control panel, either mounted on a CQX router
(local) or on a remote panel module (remote). When setting up the network it is important to assign
all CQX routers and CQX panels a subnet separate from other Compact Router Series (CR Series)
routers or control panels. CQX products and CR Series products cannot be on the same subnet. See
CQX Networks on page 11.You can also setup more than one subnet on a single switch. For
detailed instructions, see the CR Series Compact Router User’s Guide.
