Up to 256 total remote control panels may be used with the PERC3000 System Controller. This may 
include any combination of Ethernet-based panels, RCP Panel Servers, or Cheetah RCP control panels. 
Smart 32 panels communicate over an Ethernet connection with the controller and may be located 
convenient to operator stations or control areas.  

The Smart 32 Control Panel mounts in a standard 19" equipment rack and occupies one rack unit of 
space (1.75").  An installation area should be selected where the ambient temperature will not exceed 
40°C, and where air can circulate freely. The control panel should be mounted in an area convenient to 
power and network Ethernet connections. Sufficient space must be provided behind the equipment rack 
to allow for network and power cables. 

Power for the Smart 32 panel is derived from an external power supply module supplied with the panel. 

While the order in which you complete the installation steps is not critical, for ease of access PESA 
recommends that you set the Panel ID address prior to mounting the panel in an equipment rack. 

 

 

Before a Smart 32 panel can communicate with the system controller, 
receive its assigned IP address, or control any part of the router system, it 
must be configured for integration with the system and added to the 
controller configuration file loaded in the system controller. Configuration 
and set-up is done using Cattrax, PESA’s software control application 
installed on a Windows

®

 based “host” computer. Complete instructions for 

installing and operating Cattrax are provided in documentation for the 
application.  

Refer to the PESA Remote Control Panel Configuration Paragraph of the 
PERC3000 User Guide (PESA Document 81905907160) for complete 
instructions for creating or editing a controller configuration file, including 
adding a Smart 32 or other PESA control panel.

Each Smart 32 panel must be assigned a unique IP address for network communication, and a unique 
Panel ID address must be set through the three rotary switches on the rear of each panel. In order for a 
Smart 32 panel to operate, the Panel ID set on the rear panel rotary switches and the Panel ID number 
entered during Cattrax panel configuration must match.  

Remember that each Smart 32 panel must be uniquely configured through Cattrax and the controller 
configuration file loaded into the PERC3000 system controller before the panel can actually make 
switches on the router. During the Cattrax panel configuration process the network IP address for the 
panel and the unique Panel ID number are entered on the panel configuration page. In order for the 
panel to be recognized and activated, the configuration data must be loaded into the system controller.
