42 NUCLEUS Installation and Operation Manual
Appendix A: Control Panel Setup Parameters
Network
This parameter sets the control panel’s network IP address. The system
administrator can set a new IP address to the control panel. Because this
panel operates in an Ethernet environment, a unique IP address must be
set. The default IP address is 192.168.100.251. To prevent IP address
conflicts, this default IP address must be changed. You can assign an IP
address to the panel using the control panel or a CCS software
application.
Subnet Mask
A subnet is a part of a network. It may include, for example, the devices
in one geographic location, studio, or local area network. Using this
parameter, the system administrator can assign a new subnet mask to
the control panel. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway Address
This parameter sets the value for the gateway IP address. The default
gateway IP address is 192.168.100.251.
Control Panel Tracking
With the control panel tracking parameter enabled, you can track other
NUCLEUS control panels on the same network. A notification is
generated when two control panels are connected to the same device.
This alerts the user to the fact that two control panels are attempting to
simultaneously control the same device.
Auto Boot to Configuration
Using this parameter, you can set the panel’s auto boot configuration.
The panel’s auto boot configuration is automatically loaded when
NUCLEUS is powered up or rebooted. Selecting Save, automatically
overwrites the previous auto boot configuration assignment with the
configuration that is currently active on the panel. Selecting Delete
removes the previous auto boot configuration assignment and leaves the
panel with no assigned auto boot configuration.
