Panel Configuration
When the “Configure” button is selected, a password screen will appear. When the system is first configured, the screen
will have a “New Password” box and a “Confirm Password” box.
— If a password is desired, enter up to eight alphanumeric characters (case sensitive) and re−enter to con-
firm. Then select “Apply.” The screen shown in Figure 7−6 will appear.
— If no password is desired, just select “Apply.” The screen shown in Figure 7−6 will appear.
Figure 7−6. Panel Configuration screen.
The Panel Configuration screen displays the CP
Input, Output and Level sets found on the active
MPK table. The selected sets will be used for all
software panels in the system.
After highlighting the desired sets, select
“Back” to activate the sets and return to the
Main Screen.
Although the Software Control Panels can use
sets originally created§ for any CP 3xx or CP
3xxx control panel, the ideal sets would be those
created for use with an existing CP 3800 panel.
Since such sets can include 20 categories and
eight−character mnemonics, they would allow
you to take full advantage of the Software Con-
trol Panel’s capabilities.†
Note: the CP Output set selected here must have a least one output assigned to one of the first 16 categories
in the set, otherwise no output can be selected for control. For example, if a type 3800 output set is selected,
it must have at least one output assigned to a category in the outlined group shown in Figure 7−7:
VTR CG NET SAT A
VCR CAM REM EMER B
FILM PTCH STU FS C
AUX TEST MISC SS D
Figure 7−7.
§ In this application, use of sets that were created for one panel type and later copied for use with another type should be
avoided.
†
If no such sets exist, you may want to create eight−character Input/Output/Level sets of type CP 3800 and assign them to an
imaginary device of type CP−3800. For information about creating these sets, see CP Level sets (page 5−55), CP Input sets
(page 5−58) and CP Output sets (page 5−76).
Keep in mind that an imaginary device entered on the MPK table must have
corresponding entries on the Serial Devices table!
