Encore System Interface Guide
Introduction
This section provides settings that can be used as a guide to configure an
Encore system to work with specific devices. This information is intended
for engineers who are already familiar with Encore and third party system
configuration procedures.
Refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual, the latest Encore Release
Notes, and documentation provided by any third party devices involved for
more information.
Ethernet Device Interfaces
Encore communicates with devices using Ethernet networks. Examples of
the different device types include:
• Router matrices (Concerto, Trinix, 7500 Series, etc.),
• Control panels (Encore control panels, Soft panels, etc.),
• Control systems (Jupiter, Series 7000, etc.),
• PC-compatibles (Laptops, NetCentral Monitoring Station, etc.),
• Master control systems (M-2100, MMCP, Maestro, etc.),
• Switchers (Kalypso, Zodiak, KayakDD, etc.), and
• Media storage (Profile XP, Profile PDR. etc.).
The Encore Control frame has four RJ-45 Ethernet connectors, two for each
System Controller (EN1 and EN2). The EN2 connector is typically restricted
for use with router matrices and control panels. Other devices (control sys
-
tems, PC, etc.) typically connect to Encore using EN1.
Use standard peer-to-peer (crossover) cables to connect a device directly to
the Encore Control frame.
