Soft Panels
Soft Panels
Prelude systems support Soft Panels, which are software versions of
various models of hardware control panel. Soft Panel instances are config-
ured the same as their hardware equivalents, using the Prelude user inter-
face available through NetConfig. Soft Panels is an optional application
that runs on a PC, and is licensed for use on that PC.
The Soft Panels application must first connect before it can be detected by
NetConfig. Once NetConfig sees the Soft Panel, it must be sent a router con-
figuration so it knows what Levels, Sources, and Destinations exist. Each
individual Soft Panel instance (version of hardware control panel) must
also receive a panel configuration, which specifies the capabilities of that
software control panel.
See the separate Soft Panels Instruction Manual for specific information.
