Stand-Alone Networks
A stand-alone CR6400 network comprises the following items:
• From 1 to 4 CR6400 routers.
• A CP6464 panel.
• An Ethernet switch capable of 100MB/s operation with enough ports to accommodate your
routers.
Figure 3-1 shows a stand-alone network of CR6400 routers:
Fig. 3-1: Network of Routers
The panel can switch signals on the 4 routers (if they are correctly set up). Each router is consid-
ered a level. The panel operator selects levels using the level buttons on the panel. Takes occur
only on selected levels. (However, if no levels are selected, the result is as if all levels are
selected.)
Levels and IP Addresses in Stand-Alone Networks
Each CR6400 router in the network is considered equivalent to a level. Each router requires an IP
address. Use the 16-position rotary switch on the front of a router to set its IP address and corre-
sponding level:
Level = switch value (1–4).
address = switch value + 100.
The IP address is 192.168.2. address .
Thus, subnet addresses for routers range from 101 to 104 and correspond to the router levels.
The numbers on the rotary switch are in hexadecimal: 0–F.
 If the switch is at setting 0, the router will reset to its factory state, losing crosspoint values.
You should avoid leaving the switch at setting 0.
