Installation
Creating a Router Network
• Install the router in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
router is not compromised.
•
Mount the router in the rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise from uneven
mechanical loading.
• Connect the router to your supply circuit with consideration of the effect that overloading
the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Observe the nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
• Maintain reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular atten-
tion to indirect supply connectionssuch as power strips.
Creating a Router Network
A router network is necessary if you wish to perform multi-level takes and locks.
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 sample network of 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 .
