X75HD/X75SD Installation and Operation Manual 95
Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Remotely Controlling X75HD/X75SD Systems
This section provides the following general configuration procedures:
• “Preparing for Remote Control via Control Panel” (below)
• “Selecting a Remote Unit to Control” on page 96
See your Control Panels for X75 Systems Installation and Operation
Manual for more information about using an X75-RCP remote control
panel.
Preparing for Remote Control via Control Panel
Control panels remotely control X75HD/X75SD units via broadcast.
Switchers and routers in the network need to be configured accordingly.
Follow these steps to prepare your X75HD/X75SD models for remote
control:
1. Using an LCP, reconfigure each X75HD/X75SD and X75-RCP unit
with unique IP addresses and other appropriate network settings,
including shared subnet mask addresses.
See “Setting IP and Subnet Mask Addresses” on page 89 for details.
2. Restart each X75HD/X75SD and X75-RCP unit, and then wait 20
seconds to allow for network detection.
3. Connect all X75HD/X75SD systems and remote panels to a
TCP/IP-based network hub or switch using 10/100Base-T Ethernet
cable.
On X75-RCP units, use the Control connector; on X75HD/X75SD
units with frame-mounted local control panels, use the Ctrl/Strm
port at the back of the X75HD/X75SD unit.
4. Discover all units found on the network, and then select the one you
wish to control. See “Selecting a Remote Unit to Control” on
page 96 below for details.
Note
A frame-mounted local control
panel can also remotely control
other networked
X75HD/X75SD units.
Procedures described in this
section also apply to local panel
control. See “Using a
Frame-Mounted Local Control
Panel for Remote Operation” on
page 97 for more information.
