Encore  —  Configuration Manual

Section 6 — Control Panel Configuration

 

Panel Server Redundancy and IP Addresses

Redundancy parameters (namely the Mode and IP) can be configured after 
making the Panel Server offline. Choose the redundancy mode and then 
choose the partner’s EN1’s IP address. Make sure the mode and IP 
addresses on both partners correctly match. 

For example, suppose, SCB1 with IP address 192.168.0.100 is to be config-
ured as master and SCB2 with IP address 192.168.0.101 to be configured as 
mirror (slave). On OUI of the Panel Server running on SCB1, choose the 
mode as 

Mirror Master

 and IP as 

192.168.0.101

. On OUI of the Panel Server 

running on SCB2, choose the mode as 

Mirror Slave

 and IP as 

192.168.0.100

. 

Reasons for Loss of Redundancy Sync

With Encore 1.7.3 and newer software, Control Panel Servers can display 
the reasons why a redundant pair of CPSs are not in sync. If the mirror and 
master CPSs report 

No Sync

 on the Panel Server screen of the OUI, clicking 

on the 

Status

 text box opens a pop-up window. This window lists the 

reason(s) preventing synchronization. Users should check both the Master 
and Mirror CPS to get an accurate and comprehensive list of reasons. 

If any panels are connected to only the Mirror or Master CPS, the panel 
names will be displayed in the popup window. A possible solution to this 
situation is to go to the Panel Network web page of each panel and ensure 
that the Primary and Secondary server IP addresses are specified correctly. 

When a CPS starts up or is placed on-line, and when a control panel signs 
on, the CPSs will go out of sync briefly. The CPSs will indicate an approxi-
mate time (in seconds) needed to regain synchronization in the popup 
window.

Panel Server Configuration Save and Load

The Panel Server allows multiple configurations to be saved in the Sharer 
database and easily reloaded by selecting the desired configuration name 
from the list of saved configurations. These Panel Server configurations 

Simple 
Crosspoint 
Logging

Makes the Panel Server application print crosspoint activ-
ities to the console of the SCB. The console can be viewed 
serially or via Telnet. The console output can also be cap-
tured to a file using Hyperterminal. 

Alpha Sort

When enabled, Alpha Sort will be the default order used 
to display Sources and Destinations in their list windows. 
When disabled, the display order is by Source and Desti-
nation index number.
