Using the ‘CR Series Ethernet Settings’ Page
The ‘Ethernet settings’ page lists compact routers and remote panel modules available on the
CRSC network.

Each column presents the following option or information:
How to Add Routers to a Network
You can only add up to 4 routers at any one time because there can only be 4 routers in a subnet. If
the routers being added are already set to use different subnets, the limit of 4 does not apply. How-
ever, routers from the factory are usually set to the same subnet: 192.168.2. Routers that are freshly
initialized also use that subnet.
Adding a router to the CR system creates a new level. Routers are assigned to a subnet and no more
than 8 levels in any single subnet is allowed. CRSC will not let you delete a router you just added
Column Description
Update Check the check box to select the frame listed on that row for updating.
Name Name of the compact router or remote panel.
Frame Type Type (model #) of compact router or remote panel, such as CP3232.
IP Address IP address currently assigned to the device.
Subnet Mask Subnet mask currently assigned to the device. It is recommended that you leave the
subnet mask at 255.255.255.0.
Gateway IP Gateways are not used except by third-party systems or occasionally by an NV9000
system. Developers may use the gateway and subnet mask fields in any way they deem
useful. A gateway setting is not needed for a normal compact router setup.
Mode The ‘Mode’ column is status-only and displays how the particular router or remote panel
module is configured. These are the 3 possible “modes”:
NA
— The frame is either a remote panel module or a router with old software.
Config — The frame is a router configured with CRSC.
Default — No settings have been changed and the frame is a router in the factory default
mode.
Identify CP When you click
Identify CP
, the remote panel listed on that row identifies itself by
displaying a moving pattern of button lights. This feature is helpful if you forget which
panel of possibly many is represented by the particular IP address. The moving button
lights continue indefinitely. To turn off the pattern, click any button on the panel or click
Identify CP
again.
