Multiple Area Encore Systems
4. Select Save.
Note The Router Control application is not assigned to an Area using the System
Manager. This assignment is made within the Router Control application
itself, as described below under
Assigning a Router Controller to an Area on
page 95.
Assigning an SCB to an Area
In multi-Area systems, the System Manager is used to assign all SCBs to the
default Area. If you are adding new SCBs, you will need to add these
“engines,” their IP addresses, and their applications.
1. Go to System Manager > Engines.
2. Click Select and choose an engine from the list.
3. Click Area and select an Area from the list.
4. Set the Availability flag:
• For unrestricted log-in access set the Off-line / Local / All Areas
flag to
All Areas.
• For restricted access set the flag to Local.
5. Select Save.
Assigning a Router Controller to an Area
Using the Router Control application, each router is assigned to one Area.
For example, “Router A” could be assigned to “StudioA.”
Note Do not assign more than one Router Control application (or redundant Router
Control pair, i.e., more than one router) to the same Area.
Note The Area of the Router Control application can only be changed from the
application. Changing the Area of the engine on which the Router Control
application is running or changing the Area of this application from the
System Manager does not get reflected on the Router Control application
even if System Manager, Sharer, or the SCB (engine on which the Router
Control application is running) is rebooted.
Open the Router Control application (if not open already):
1. Launch the OUI and select Start.
2. Enter your User ID (e.g. SYS).
3. Press Enter to close the “Welcome to Encore” window.
4. Select the first Router Control application.
