Figure 19. Redundant System Controllers Configured Using VLANs
The two System Controllers are both configured as Panel Servers and
Router Engines. Panels may be placed anywhere on the network as long as
the panel has an Ethernet path to a Encore System Controller frame config
-
ured as a Control Panel Server. A Control Panel server can control up to 128
Encore control panels. To add more panels, use another Encore System
Controller configured as a Control Panel Server.
Serial and Ethernet connections cannot be routed internally from one side
of the System Control frame to the other, so a separate connection is shown
from each System Controller to the device or switch.
Video Reference signals can be routed via loop-thru daisy-chain. Two video
references are routed through one System Controller to the other and on to
the Concerto frames. Video Reference 2 is terminated at the first Concerto
frame. Video Reference 1 continues from the first Concerto to the second
Concerto before being terminated. An AES reference is added at the first
Concerto frame and routed to the second Concerto where it is terminated.
Managed 10/100BaseT switches are recommended for all Encore Systems.
Unmanaged 10/100BaseT switches can be used as secondary switches con
-
necting several devices to a managed Ethernet switch, or in isolated areas.
Ethernet hubs are not supported.
