Acuity Frame
Menu Display
CB2 Panel
Note: The Carbonite Black control panel can only connect to
the Acuity
®
frame through a Menu Display or Acuity Rack Panel.
The Menu Display is used to connect to the frame and then to
the control panel.
By default, the Carbonite Black control panel is
automatically detected in DashBoard and can be setup
to communicate with the Menu Display using the
DashBoard interface. Once the Carbonite Black control
panel has connected to the Menu Display, the software
is congured for Acuity
®
and the DashBoard interface
is no-longer available. You must use the DashBoard
interface to set the IP address of the Carbonite Black
control panel before connecting it to the frame.
The Menu Display connects to the frame in the same way
as a standard Acuity
®
control panel or Acuity Rack Panel.
Refer to Control Panel Network Setup for more
information.
Panel Network Initial Setup
The Carbonite Black control panel comes from the
factory set with a static IP address (192.168.0.129) but
can be set to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP
address.
The control panel is automatically discovered in
DashBoard and appears as CarbonitePanel followed by
the MAC address of that particular panel.
Note: If the Carbonite Black control panel is able to connect to
the Acuity Rack Panel, the DashBoard menus are not available.
Tip: If you do not know the IP address of the control panel, you
can set DIP switches on the panel to lock the IP address of the
panel to 192.168.0.129 and the IP address that it expects the
frame at to 192.168.0.123. The panel must be re-started for the
new IP address to be applied. Refer to Control Panel DIP
Switches on page 24 for DIP settings.
To Configure the Initial Network Setting
Change the network setting of a Carbonite Black control
panel.
1. Double-click on the CarbonitePanel node and
click on the Ethernet tab.
