34 Prelude — Instruction Manual
Section 2 — Installation and Initial Setup
The
Matrix Control Port Number
reports the actual port that will be used by the
device. For example, if you wish to run a Prelude system on the same
network as an Encore system, you can choose button
1
(port 6051) for the
Acappella and/or Concerto frames and all the control panels used by Pre-
lude. The Encore system can continue to use the default port setting (6050).
Note All components on an individual system must use the same System Identifier
(port) number.
Alternatively, you can assign a specific port number to a device by choosing
Manual Select
, which opens a text entry field. This feature is intended only
for qualified system administrators experienced with network configura-
tion.
System Identifier for Control Panels on a Shared Network
Because the same port number must be used by all devices of a Prelude
system, if you change a matrix port number you must also change them on
all that system’s control panels. Go to the Network Configuration web page
for each panel and select a matching System Identifier or manually assign
it the same port number.
Broadcast Select
Broadcast select determines the communications mechanism used by the
system.
Note All components on an individual system must use the same Broadcast Select
settings.
System Broadcast Select on Small Systems
Leave this setting at
Use Broadcast
if your Prelude system has only a small
number of control panels (three or less).
Note The Use Broadcast setting should NOT be used if an Encore system is also
present on the network.
System Broadcast Select on Larger Systems
Selecting
Use Multicast
makes this device employ a more efficient net-
working mechanism, useful for systems with several control panels. When
using this mode, all devices need to be set identically, with matching Broad-
cast Select, Port Number, System Identifier, and Multicast IP addresses.
When selected, the
Ref Server Multicast IP Address
and
Matrix Status Multicast IP
Address values are shown (determined by the System Identifier selection
above). Clicking the
Manual Select
button permits entering specific port and
IP addresses.
