CR Series
User’s Guide
A CRSC network supports salvos.
A CP3201 can be used in a CRSC network (because sources and destinations are not tied to
specific inputs and outputs).
CRSC supports advanced Ethernet connections (e.g., gateway connections).
CQX Routers
At present, a CQX router must operate by itself with a CQX control panel (or automation). Do not
place a CQX router on a subnet with other routers. You can have more than one subnet dedi-
cated to CQX routers, however.
The CQX panel can be local (mounted on a CQX router) or it can be remote (mounted on a
remote panel module). The remote CQX panel then must be connected to the CQX router by an
Ethernet switch.
As product development continues, we expect the networking capabilities of CQX routers and
panels to expand.
CR6400 Routers
CR6400 routers operate — in stand-alone mode — only with other CR6400 routers and CP6464
panels. They must not be on the same subnet as CR Series routers of other types.
In a CRSC network, however, CR6400 routers can interoperate with any other CR Series routers
and panels. The CP6464 panels can be configured and used in the same way as other panels in
the network.
CR6400 routers and panels can be used in NV9000 networks in the same way as other CR Series
routers and panels.
Router Control Systems
A router control system can switch video and audio (and other signal types) elegantly and in fact
offers a number of other features and services not available in the CR Series routers alone.
An NV9000 system also supports a number of additional hardware and software control panels.
Thus, in a system under NV9000 control, CR Series control panels are optional.
Remote panel modules require a specific setup step to work under NV9000. With that setup they
act as NV9000 panels and are configured using NV9000-SE Utilities. Other NV9000 panels can
also be used to control compact routers.
Rack Mount
CR6400 Routers
The CR6400 routers are designed to mount in a 19” rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement,
but we assume a 19” rack for the sake of simplicity.
Follow these steps to install a CR6400 router:
