Network Setup
If the frame is using the default network settings, the
control panel will automatically detect the frame on
power up. No network setup is required. Once connected,
you can change the network settings of each control
panel. You must restart the switcher each time you want
to apply different network settings.
You can connect up to nine control panels to a single
frame. In either a single panel or MultiPanel
configuration, you must configure a master panel. Once
the master panel is configured, up to eight satellite panels
can be configured.
Frame Network Setup
From the frame web interface, you can set up the IP
Address of the frame, as well as selecting the IP addresses
of all the control panels, and SoftPanel, that can access
the frame.
