Reminder
There are several ways to use the CR Series Compact Routers:
• A single stand-alone router with a “captive” control panel or with automation.
• A single stand-alone CR6400 router with a “captive” control panel or with automation.
• A network of stand-alone routers (other than CR6400 routers), possibly with remote panels,
possibly with captive panels, and with or without automation.
• A network of stand-alone CR6400 routers, possibly with captive panels, and with or without
automation.
• A CRSC network of routers and remote panels with or without automation. Here, the panels
and routers are configured using CRSC.
• A network of routers under an NV9000 router control system.
• A single CQX router with a captive CQX panel (and optional remote CQX panel).
See the CRSC User’s Guide for detailed information about operating a CRSC network.
CR6400 stand-alone routers and panels are distinguished from other types of stand-alone
routers and panels because the user interfaces are different. Nevertheless, CR6400 routers and
panels can be mixed with CR Series routers and panels of other types in a stand-alone network
with some limitations. For example, a CP3232 panel cannot address destinations 33–64 of a
CR6464-3Gig.
For information on the operation of CR6400 routers and panels, see Chapter 10, Operating
CR6400 Routers. This chapter does not discuss the operation of CR6400 routers and panels.
