CR Series Compact Routers
The switch settings of a remote panel module (if you have
one) must be non-zero:
Subnet address = switch setting + 50.
The IP address is 192.168.2.address. Thus, subnet addresses for
remote panel modules range from 51 to 65.
 The CQX router and the remote panel with switch position 0 will
reset to the factory default if power is removed.
Networked PC
Configuration software is optional in some cases, unless you
have machine control routers to configure or you wish to
build a CRSC network or an NV9000 network.
If you will be using CRSC, your PC must be assigned an IP
address on the same subnet as your routers and remote panel
modules.
Follow these steps to configure your PC’s IP address:
1) Launch ‘Settings>Network Connections’ from your PC’s
Start menu. The following window appears:
2) Double-click ‘Local Area Connection’. Then, choose the
‘General’ tab and click ‘Properties’.
3) Select ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’. Click ‘Properties’ again:
4) Select ‘Use the following IP address’ and enter the IP
address for your PC. Use the default subnet mask.
The subnet mask should usually be 255.255.255.0. Any IP
address will suffice as long as it is not the same as the
address of any router or remote panel module. We recom-
mend you avoid the ranges 100–115 and 50–65.
Leave the DNS fields blank. Advanced users may use differ-
ent subnet forms.
5) Click OK to finish.
Control Panels
Attach a control panel to a router or remote panel module by
placing the control panel in position, mating the connectors
on the two pieces. This requires only minimal force. Then,
tighten the knurled screws so the assembly is secure. See Fig-
ure 5.
 A 1RU control panel cannot connect to a 2RU device and vice
versa.
Routers and remote panel modules ship with a cover plate
over the control panel connector. You must remove the cover
plate before mounting the control panel. We recommend
that you leave the cover plate in place if you do not plan to
use a control panel.
