4. CR Series Ethernet Setttings
An Overview of Networking
because each router must correspond to at least one level. Either disconnect the router physically,
delete one or more levels (other than those just added), or move the router to another subnet. Levels
are managed using the ‘Setup Router Levels’ page. See
Configuring Router Levels on page 25.
Only CQX control panels can be used with CQX routers. Both the CQX router and CQX panel
must be on the same subnet, but a different subnet than other CR Series routers and panels. See
Creating a Network on page 8.
1 Connect one or more remote panel modules (16 or fewer) to your network with unique rotary
switch settings from 0 to 15. See Rotary Switches on page 10. The switches have hexadecimal
position numbers from 0 to 9 and A to F. In hex notation, the letters mean the following:
A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15.
2 From the side navigation pane, click ‘CR Series Ethernet Settings’ page under the ‘CR Series
Network Setup’ bar.
3 On the ‘CR Series Ethernet Setting page’, verify that all routers appear in the list.
4 For each router, click on the cell in the ‘IP Address’ column to activate the field. (A check mark
appears in the ‘Update’ check box). Enter a unique IP address according to the following for-
mulas:
CR Series routers – xxx.yyy.zzz.s where s = the switch setting plus 100.
CQX routers – xxx.yyy.zzz.s where s = the switch setting plus 200. Use only a switch setting in
the range 1–4 (addresses 201 to 204).
Each IP address must be unique. The default subnet (xxx.yyy.zzz) for CR Series routers and
panels is 192.168.2. CQX routers and CQX panels must exist on a separate subnet.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each router. Remember that no more than 4 routers can be added to
a single subnet.
6 Important! Click
Apply Updates
to send the changes to the selected frames. Only those frames
with ‘Update’ checked are updated. The changes are stored in the frames’ internal configuration
data.
7 Remember to cycle power after you change a rotary switch.
How to Add Remote Panels to a Network
You can only add up to 16 remote panel modules at any one time because there are only 16 switch
positions. If your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, CRSC does not allow a frame address outside the
range 1–254. You can use other subnet masks and other address ranges.
Only CQX control panels can be used with CQX routers. Both the CQX router and CQX panel
must be on the same subnet, but a different subnet than other CR Series routers and panels. See
Creating a Network on page 8.
Note If your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, CRSC does not allow a frame address out-
side the range 1–254. You can use other subnet masks and other address ranges.
Note If a rotary switch is set to zero (0), the router reverts to the factory default
state, not to a previously set state.
