To Set the Panel Network Settings

Note: The control panel and frame must be on the same subnet to communicate properly.
Note: The Acuity Rack Panel ships with a static IP address (192.168.0.129) as default.
  1. Press HOME three times to place the control panel in diagnostic mode.
  2. Press HOME > Setup > Network Setup > Configure Frame/Panel IPs.
    Tip: Set Defaults on (On) to set the control panel to the default IP address and to look for the frame at the default IP address of the frame.
  3. In the Frame area, enter the IP Address of the frame using a keyboard.
    Tip: On the Acuity® panel you can also use the keypad on the Global Memory Module to enter the network setting. On the TouchDrive panel you can use the Memory area (TD2S and TD3S only) or the Memory Punch Pad (Press HOME > More > Memory PunchPad). The MENU button must be active in the Memory area or punchpad of the TouchDrive panel.
  4. In the Panel area, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of the control panel using a keyboard.
  5. Use the Panel ID knob to select the role you want to assign to the control panel.
    • Main Panel — assign the control panel as the main panel in a MultiPanel setup, or the only control panel.
    • Satellite Panel X — assigns the control panel as one of the satellite panels in a MultiPanel setup.
  6. Press Save and Yes to reboot the control panel and use the new network settings.
  7. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address of the switcher frame. You are prompted to enter a user name and password. The defaults are user and password.
  8. Click Other... > Network.
  9. In the Panel area, enter the IP address for the panel you are connecting to the frame.
    • Main Panel — enter the IP address of the main panel in the IP Address Main Panel field.
    • Satellite Panel — enter the IP address of a satellite panel in the IP Address Satellite X field.
    Note: The IP address for the control panel must be the same for the satellite number on the control panel and frame. For example, if you assign a control panel Satellite 5, you must enter the IP address of that control panel in the IP Address Satellite 5 field.
  10. Click Change and Reboot.
