MultiPanel Operational Notes
The following is a list of MultiPanel operational notes that you should keep in mind when using
either a Master Panel, or Satellite Panel, in a MultiPanel configuration:
• Each control panel can have a separate Program MLE, but only the highest number MLE
used by a control panel in the system can use the MultiDSK, Half MLE, or Preview
Overlay options, as well as the Preview Bus.
• If you change the Program MLE for a control panel, you must set the MLE Program
output for that MLE to the Output BNC you want to use.
• If multiple control panels have the same MLE assigned to them, conflicts are decided on
a last button press wins basis.
• Satellite Panels cannot perform the following tasks:
› Disk/USB Operations
› Remote Enables for Editors
› System Restart or Shutdown
› Device Control
› Install Software Options
›Set System Time
• Only the Master Panel can connect to external devices; however, a custom control that
performs an action on a device can be run from a Satellite Panel.
• OverDrive and Editors can only interface with the Master Panel.
• Each control panel in a MultiPanel system, must have a unique IP Address and Panel ID
(such as Satellite 1).
• Memories, Custom Controls, Bus Maps, Installation Settings, and Personalities are
shared across all control panels.
• Memory recalls only affect the MLEs that are assigned to the control panel that they are
recalled on; however, if the memory is recalled as part of a custom control, it will affect
the MLEs that were assigned to the control panel that the custom control was recorded
on.
• Different Bus Maps can be assigned to the same MLE from different control panels.
