Remotely Controlling X75HD Systems
This section provides the following general configuration procedures:
• “Preparing for Remote Control via RCP” on page 73
• “Selecting a Remote Unit to Control” on page 74
See your Control Panels for X75 Systems Installation and Operation
Manual for more information on using an RCP-X75 remote control
panel.
Preparing for Remote Control via RCP
You can remotely control X75HD units over a network from a remote
control panel. RCP-X75 panels remotely control X75HD units via
broadcast. Switchers and routers in the network need to be configured
accordingly. Preparation for remote control includes the following:
1. Using an LCP, reconfigure each X75HD and RCP-X75 unit with
unique IP addresses and other appropriate network settings,
including shared subnet mask addresses. See “Setting IP and
Subnet Mask Addresses” on page 70 for details.
2. Restart each X75HD and RCP-X75 unit.
After restarting an X75HD unit or RCP-X75 panel, you will need to
wait approximately 20 seconds before they are detected on the
network.
3. Connect all X75HD systems and remote panels to a TCP/IP-based
network hub or switch using 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.
For RCP-X75 units, the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector on the
rear of the unit, labelled CONTROL, is used to connect the panel to
a TCP/IP-based network for remote control and status monitoring
of a selected device. For remote control using an LCP, connect to
the CTRL/STRM port at the back of the X75HD unit. See “Making
Required Hardware Connections” on page 69 for more information.
4. Discover all units found on the network, and then select the one you
wish to control. See “Selecting a Remote Unit to Control” below
for details.
Note
A frame-mounted local control
panel (LCP) can also remotely
control other networked X75HD
units. Procedures described in
this section also apply to LCP
control. See “Using a
Frame-Mounted Local Control
Panel for Remote Operation” on
page 75 for more information.
