8.8 Dual Panels for Back-Up Redundancy
The proceeding parts of Section 8, discusses using two panels for two operators. Two
panels may also be used by one operator for redundancy/backup.
Physical Control Panel and SoftPanels
This capability is standard with every Broadcast Pix Switcher system. If the control panel
should fail, then press
Reconnect
on the SoftPanel’s web browser to connect it. If you
wish it to be always available, you need an optional additional panel license, see section
8.1. All Mica 2000 models come with 4 panel licenses. If one panel should fail, the other
one may be used without any interruption.
Dual Physical Control Panels
An optional second control panel may be added to any Mica system. The second control
panel needs to have a different IP address than the main control panel. This is
accomplished with changing the Panel IP address on the control panel, in the Panel Setup
& Test mode, while the panel is off line.
The default IP address of a 2000 1ME panel is: 192.168.53.247
The default IP address of a 1000 1ME panel is: 192.168.53.251
The default IP address of a 2ME panel is: 192.168.53.252
To change the Panel IP address:
1. Make sure the control is if
Offline
, by closing the BPswitcher application.
2. The 4 wildcard device buttons in the Device Control will illuminate,
select the
[Setup + Test]
button and it will illuminate orange,
as shown to the right.
3.
The PixPad in the Device Control will illuminate, as shown below, select the
[Panel IP]
PixButton. The PixPad will change to a numeric PixPad.
