Installation
Creating a Router Network
Thus, subnet addresses for routers range from 101 to 104 and correspond to the router levels.
The numbers on the rotary switch are in hexadecimal: 0–F. Do not use 0.
Stand-Alone Networks for Other CR Series Routers
A router network comprises the following items:
• From 1 to 15 remote panel modules (with attached control panels).
• From 1 to 4 compact routers. You can mix routers of any size and type according to your
requirements. Keep in mind that a 16×16 remote panel module cannot control inputs or
outputs numbered 17 and higher.
• Optionally, one or more PCs (running Windows XP) on which you have installed CRSC.
• An Ethernet switch (or hub) capable of 100MB/s operation with enough ports to accommo-
date your routers, remote panel modules, and PCs.
Figure 3-2 shows a sample network of routers with remote panel modules:
Fig. 3-2: Network of Routers
It is permissible to have a control panel on any router, if that is what you want. Those routers can
be switched both locally and remotely.
Levels and IP Addresses in Stand-Alone Networks
Each router in the network is considered a level. Each router and remote panel module requires
an IP address. Use the 16-position rotary switch on the front of a router to set its IP address and
level. Use the rotary switch on the front of a remote panel module to set its IP address.
For routers,
Level = switch value (1–4).
address = switch value + 100.
The IP address is 192.168.2.address.
Thus, subnet addresses for routers range from 101 to 104 and correspond to the router levels.
For remote panel modules,
address = switch value + 50.
The IP address is 192.168.2.address.
