Levels and IP Addresses in NV9000 Networks
(Please refer to the CRSC User’s Guide for complete configuration details.)
Levels and IP addresses are configured for NV9000 networks as they are for CRSC networks.
However, levels must also be configured in NV9000-SE Utilities. The NV9000-SE Utilities configu-
ration must match levels you define in CRSC. If the configurations are not identical, your routers
will probably not switch the correct signals.
Remote panel modules must also be configured in NV9000-SE Utilities.
There are 3 parts to installing an NV9000 network.
• Initial setup of routers, levels, and remote panel modules in CRSC.
• Configuration of routers, levels, and panels in NV9000-SE Utilities.
• Cabling of the control connections and cabling of the I/O.
The initial setup in CRSC turns off the factory defaults in the routers and remote panel modules.
After that initial setup, they are ready to be deployed in your NV9000 network.
In CRSC
At the beginning of the initial setup, each router requires a unique IP address and each remote
panel module requires a unique address. Use the 16-position rotary switch on the front of a
router to set its IP address and level. Use the rotary switch on the front of a remote panel module
to set its IP address.
For routers,
Level = switch value.
address = switch value + 100.
The default IP address is 192.168.2.address.
Thus, by default, the subnet addresses for routers range from 101 to 115. Initially, each router in
the network has one level. You can define new levels, up to a total of 8.
For remote panel modules,
address = switch value + 50.
The default IP address is 192.168.2.address.
Thus, subnet addresses for remote panel modules range from 51 to 65.
The numbers on the rotary switch are in hexadecimal: 0–F. Do not use 0.
CRSC allows you to change the IP address of any router or remote panel module. The NV9000
will almost certainly require it. You will define the IP addresses in CRSC and reference them in
the NV9000 configuration.
Change the IP addresses of your devices in CRSC’s ‘CR Series Ethernet Settings’ page. Do not
forget to click ‘Apply Updates’.
CRSC supports router partitioning. A partition is also called a level. You can define 8 levels in
CRSC. The level numbers can be in the range [1–250] and must be unique. Your level definitions
will depend on your system design. You can change your level assignments at any time. Do not
forget to click ‘Update Router Levels’.
For remote panels to function properly in an NV9000 network, you must set them up for use as
“dumb panels.” In CRSC’s ‘Setup NV9000 Remote Panels’ page, for each remote panel module,
