the event of a failure, both the primary
and secondary Calrec controller cards
can communicate over each other's front
panel ports - in the event of a primary
controller card failing, the secondary
would automatically become active, but
would still send and receive CSCP data
over the connection made to the primary
card.
Secondaryconnections
Third party CSCP controllers that support
redundant secondary connections should
be connected to one of the MAC5 ports
on both the primary and secondary Calrec
controller cards to provide complete
redundancy, protecting against cable /
port failure and card removal. If required,
this connection can be via an Ethernet
switch, e.g. to allow a single RJ45 port on
a 3rd party controller to connect to both
primary and secondary Calrec ports.
Multipleconsoles
If CSCP connections from multiple Calrec
consoles are to be networked together,
the consoles need to connect via a layer3
(IP) Ethernet switch in order to prevent
MAC address conflicts.
ConnectingviacorporateLAN
DHCP servers run on the Calrec control
processor cards to allow easy connection
of H2O access PCs and configuration
PCs via the MAC5 port. If a CSCP
or other connection is to be made to
these ports via a corporate LAN, it is
important that the Calrec DHCP servers
are disabled and the connections are
manually configured as appropriate.
Configuration
Please discuss your installation
requirements with your Calrec sales
representative or distributor prior to
delivery. CSCP connections should be
configured and tested by, or under the
guidance of a Calrec approved engineer.
The following points should be noted
when communicating your requirements:
The default Calrec IP addresses are xxx.
yyy.1.0 for the primary, and xxx.yyy.2.0
for the secondary control processor
cards. xxx.yyy is unique for each Apollo /
Artemis / Standalone Router processing
core and can be confirmed by running
the Program Updater GUI. If the default
addresses are not suitable, please supply
alternative IP addresses and a subnet
mask which can be configured pre-
delivery or during commissioning.
If required, the Calrec system can be
configured to connect via an IP gateway.
In addition to connecting by IP address,
both the Calrec system and the 3rd party
require configuring to use the same TCP
socket port.
The default TCP socket
port for CSCP is 49200
.
User&bootupenable/disable
Once configured, CSCP can be enabled
or disabled from the console's Main
Application,
>System Settings>Ext
Control
screen. Being part of the System
Settings, the enabled / disabled selection
is automatically saved for recall after a
reset or power cycle. System Settings
settings are not saved as part of the show
or user memory and will therefore not
change when different shows / memories
are loaded onto the control surface.
