Section 6 — Control Panel Configuration
Control Panel Grouping
Control panel grouping allows multiple panels to be logically combined
together to form a single larger control panel. This feature is typically used
when more button functions are desired than are available on particular
type of panel. For example, the number of direct access Sources and Desti-
nations can be increased. A panel group consists of one Master panel and
one or more Expansion panels.
The Panel Server treats any button press command from within a panel
group as if it was generated from a single physical control panel. Each
panel belonging to a defined panel group will behave according to the con-
figuration of the Master panel of the group. All Take, Lock/Protect, or
Level requests, and error responses are directed from and to the Master
panel of the panel group. The behavior and response time of all panels
within a panel group will match that of a standalone control panel. Opera-
tional and diagnostic messages (e.g. in case of Lock or Protect) will only
show the Master panel name, not the Expansion panel(s).
A single Panel Server can control a total of 64 grouped control panels and
an additional 64 control panels that are not assigned to panel groups. The
grouped control panels can be in a single group of 64 panels, or 32 groups
of two panels, or any combination of groups as long as the total number of
grouped panels does not exceed 64. Grouped panels have to be on the same
Panel Server, but the panels in a group do not have to be in the same rack
or even the same room.
Encore groupings include 48B + 48B, BPS + 48B, XY + 48B, and UCP +
Client panels. A 48B panel can be either a standalone, or a Master, or an
Expansion panel, but cannot be more than one of those or a member of
more than one panel group.
With Encore 1.8.0 and higher software, the ENC-PMB, and SMS-EDP, -MB8,
and -MB4 Control Panes can also be configured to act as the master panel
with up to 127 ENC-48B or Kalypso KSD expansion panels. In addition, this
software supports the SMS-PXY group (PXS, PXD, and PXYE panels).
Note
To remove a control panel from being a Master of a group all Expansion
panels must first be removed from the group before the Master will be
allowed to be removed. This prevents leaving Expansion panels without a
Master panel.
Panel Grouping Configuration Process
The Master control panel of a group must be configured first before config-
uring Expansion panels.
Once the panel is defined as a Master the
