CR Series Compact Routers

Installation

Software and Documentation

Insert the supplied CD (SB0033) in your CD drive. It will 
autoplay in a few seconds. On the first screen you see, click 
‘CR Series Routing Products’. 
The CR Series screen displays: 

You can choose from 4 options at any time:

Install 

CRSC

.

Obtain documentation.

Open a button template.

Browse the CD.

To install the 

CRSC

 software, click ‘Install CRSC’ and follow 

the simple steps when the installer appears. The installation 
process takes less than a minute. Optionally, place a “short-
cut” on your PC desktop.

Rotary Switches

Every router and every remote panel module has a 16-posi-
tion rotary switch labeled ‘Frame ID’. CQX routers have an 
additional rotary switch labeled ‘Mode’. 
The ‘Frame ID’ rotary switch is used in stand-alone networks 
(1) to set the device’s IP address and (2) for routers, to set the 
router’s level. 

It is used in CRSC networks, NV9000 networks, or CQX 
(sub)networks to set a device’s 

initial

 IP address. You can use 

CRSC to change IP addresses (and levels) to more suitable val-
ues once the routers and remote panel modules are in the net-
work. After initial setup, the rotary switch can be ignored.

Use a small screwdriver to make adjustments. Turn the switch 
so that the arrow points to the setting number. The numbers 
are in hexadecimal, where the letters A–F represent the num-
bers 10–15. (You might need to remove a control panel from 
the router or remote panel module to access the rotary 
switch.)
After you make an adjustment, turn the power to the router 
(or remote panel module) on again. 
If you set the rotary switch to position 0, the router or remote 
panel module to reset to its factory default settings when you 
cycle power. When you set the rotary switch to a non-zero 
position, it retains its settings. 
We recommend always setting a device to a non-zero position 
while it is in use. Although it is possible to use device with a 
zero switch setting, if you lose or remove power, it will reset 
and lose its configuration. 

Stand-Alone Routers

For a single router, you may set the rotary switch on the 
router to any 

non-zero

 position. 

Stand-Alone Networks 

You may have up to 4 routers and up to 16 remote panel mod-
ules in a stand-alone network. 
Set the rotary switches as follows.
For 

routers

, the rotary switch sets both the router’s IP address 

and the router’s level. For each router, choose a switch posi-
tion from 1 to 4: 

Level (1–4) = switch setting.
Subnet 

address

 = switch s 100.

The IP address is 192.168.2.

address

. Thus, subnet addresses for 

routers range from 101 to 104 and correspond to router levels 
1–4. Each router’s rotary switch setting must be unique. 
The switch settings of 

remote panel modules

 must also be 

distinct. For each remote panel module, choose a switch posi-
tion from 0 to F: 

Subnet 

address

 = switch s 50.

The IP address is 192.168.2.

address

. Thus, subnet addresses for 

remote panel modules range from 50 to 65. 

Routes and remote panels with switch position 0 will reset to the 
factory default if power is removed. 

FRAME ID

Position 0 is at the right.
