User’s Guide
The AES and 3Gig cards have DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors. Depending on the devices you are con-
necting to your router, you might need to obtain BNC-to-DIN adapter cables.
Other Routers
Whether stand-alone, used in a network, or used in a router control system, the CR Series routers
and remote panel modules are designed to mount in a 19” rack. This is not a requirement, but
we assume a 19” rack for the sake of simplicity.
Follow these steps to install a CR Series device:
1 Set the position of the 16-position rotary switch on the front of the router or remote panel
module. (It is not on the control panel. If the control panel is mounted on the router, you
must detach the control panel from the router to see the switch.)
If you have a stand-alone router, set the switch to any non-zero position.
If you have a stand-alone router network, refer to
Levels and IP Addresses in Stand-Alone
, on page 56 for information on how the rotary switch is used.
If you have a CRSC router network, refer to the CRSC User’s Guide for information on how the
rotary switch is used.
If you are using the router in a control system, refer to
on page 179 for
information on how the rotary switch is used.
Use a small screwdriver to turn the rotary switch.
In a network, all devices must have unique IP addresses. An IP address is determined (at
least initially) by the rotary switch at the front of the device. The rotary switches for
routers must (at least initially) be distinct. The rotary switches for remote panel modules
must (at least initially) be distinct. However, a remote panel module may have the same
switch setting as a router. Their address spaces are separate by default.
2 If the router is to have a control panel, place the control panel on the front of the router, mat-
ing the electrical connector on the panel to the electrical connector on the router. The fit
requires only minimal force. Tighten the knurled screws that secure the control panel to the
router.
A 2RU panel does not work with, or even fit on, a 1RU router and vice versa. Do not try to
connect a control panel to the wrong type of router or remote panel module.
You may install a control panel’s button legends at any time. See
on
3 Mount, and secure, the router assembly in the rack.
For the 1RU routers (or assemblies), the mounting holes are spaced 1.25” (31mm) vertically
and allow approximately 1/8” (3mm) of movement horizontally.
For the 2RU routers (or assemblies), the 3 mounting holes on each side are spaced 1.25”
(31mm) and 1.75” (44mm) (3”, 76mm, overall) vertically and allow approximately 1/8” (3mm)
of play horizontally.
Because the routers are short and thin, you might not have enough space to reach
behind the router and make connections. In that case, leave this step until last.
4 If you are using the router on a network, connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) from the network
switch to the Ethernet port of the router.
