used by the device. For example, if you wish to run an Acappella system on
the same network as an Encore system, you can choose button
1 (port 6051)
for the Acappella frame and all the Acappella panels. 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 Broadcast Select:
Leave this setting at Use Broadcast if your Acappella system has none or only
a small number of remote panels (three or less).
Selecting Use Multicast makes this Acappella device employ a more efficient
networking mechanism, useful for systems with several remote panels.
Note All components on an individual system must use the same Broadcast set-
tings.
