Label Each Device’s IP Address

When all devices have unique IP addresses, it can be extremely helpful to
label each device with its currently assigned IP address. Removable adhe-
sive labels are recommended, since the IP address may be changed in the
future.

Identifying Control Panels

To identify a specific control panel when several are connected at once, you
can right click on the device name in NetConfig and choose

Identify Device

.

That panel’s front panel buttons will blink on and off alternatively.
Touching any front panel button restores normal button tally.

Alternatively, to identify a panel you can send it a reset command and see
which one’s front panel buttons all go off and back on.

Name Devices

You can give the Prelude components descriptive names, if you wish. This
can be helpful during configuration, especially for control panels which
may be located at different locations that require different configurations.
Devices are named using that device’s web page.

1.

In NetConfig, select the device you wish to name on in the left pane,
then click on

Panel System

or

Matrix System

(depending on device type).
