Basic Navigation 11
NoConfig
The No Config menu provides a place to make initial base settings and begin to create a configuration
for the local CEM+. The NoConfig menu has no login requirements and anyone has access to these
menu items.
Generate Defaults
The Generate Defaults menu allows you to create an initial configuration for your local rack. You can
set your group and rack numbers along with rack type and dimmer information. However, you can
only add multiple racks of the same type. Additional racks or rack types must be added later via the
Add Racks menu item. For the face panel menu see
Add Rack [Power]
on
page 18
and for the web
interface see
Add Racks
on
page 24
.
• The first menu option within generate defaults allows you to choose between the main
modes of operating feature sets. Options are Full Feature or Basic/Portable. This is a
fundamental configuration mode choice. Basic/Portable mode provides a subset of full
feature functionality for use in simple touring applications. For more info see Basic/
Portable Mode on page 61.
• Rack Types: SRxx is the U.S. style perminent installation rack and SPxx is the U.S.
style type of portable rack (including touring racks). ESRxx and ESPxx are for
European installation racks and portable racks respectively. In all cases, the “xx”
number is determined by the number of slots in the rack for modules (not the number
of dimmers).
Set Group/Rack/Net
The Set Group / Rack menu allows you to set the rack number of your local rack and the group number
it belongs to. It also provides a place to set the network information (IP address, subnet mask and
gateway IP). This should be done before creating a configuration. Changing this information may
require the CEM+ to reboot to take effect.
Get Config From
After selecting this function, you will be prompted with the name of the rack you want to get the
configuration from.
Options will include:
• Racks [1-16] which refers to any of the other racks that may be online and configured as being
from the same group.
• FTP Server which refers to an FTP server if one is configured on your lighting network. It will ask
you to specify the server’s IP address. See the section
FTP Server
on
page 51
for more information
about setting up an FTP server for use with CEM+.
• Backplane (Stored in Rack) which refers to the configuration information stored in the back plane
of the local rack.
Once the configuration source has been chosen, it will transfer the configuration to the local CEM+.
After the transfer is complete, you will get a confirmation or error message for the transfer.
