User’s Guide
•
In a network of routers under an NV9000 router control system.
A captive panel is one attached directly to a router. A remote panel is one mounted on a
remote panel module.
Automation is left to the customer and is not addressed in this document.
Stand-Alone CR6400 Usage
The CR6400 family routers can also be used in the following ways:
•
As a single stand-alone CR6400 router with a “captive” control panel or with automation.
•
In a network of stand-alone CR6400 routers, possibly with captive panels, and with or with-
out automation.
Compact routers and remote panel modules come from the factory ready for stand-alone opera-
tion. They must be configured in CRSC if they are to be used either in a CRSC network or in an
NV9000 network. Once configured, they must be reset to their factory default state to operate in
stand-alone mode.
A remote panel module must be configured to operate (1) in a CRSC network or (2) in an NV9000
network. The two configuration modes are mutually exclusive.
The CR6400 routers, in their factory default state, operate in stand-alone mode (also known as
“default” mode) either as a single router or in a small network. They do not require configuration
to operate in stand-alone mode.
Figure 2-1 compares a stand-alone CR6400 with a captive panel to a stand-alone CR6400
network with a captive panel:

Up to 4 CR6400 routers may be controlled with a single CP6464.
When configured in CRSC, the CR6400 routers and remote panel modules can operate in CRSC
network mode or NV9000 network mode. See
