Configuring Encore Control Panels
Default Destinations
When multiple partitions exist on a Control Panel, each partition probably
needs its own default Destination. Clicking on the
Default Dst/Page field
opens a Controlled Destinations menu, in which clicking on each Destina
-
tion partition field allows selection of the default Destination for that par-
tition (Figure 172).

Partial Template Configuration
Portions of an existing control panel configuration can be retained when a
template is applied to that panel. This is accomplished in the template file
by specifying particular items that are not to be changed. This partial tem
-
plate configuration feature is available on all Encore system Control Panels
except the SMS CNT and MCO panels. An example use of this feature is
sending a new source button template to multiple BPS panels. Setting the
default Destination to not change eliminates the need to manually recon
-
figure the controlled Destination of each BPS panel.
Partially Configuring a Template
1. Select a Control Panel template file for editing. Note that the default
template cannot be edited. You can create an editable default template
by saving a copy with a new file name.
