Installing the Soft Panel Application
The following instructions show the steps that are needed to install both soft Panel applications. The Basic XY Soft Panel screens are used as exam ples. However, the Multi-Level XY instructions steps are identical to the Basic XY instructions.
To start the Soft Panel application installation process:
Software Installation
-
1. Insert the supplied software CDROM into the computer’s CD Drive
and follow the prompts.
Note The CD should automatically start the installation process. If not, browse to
the CD, using Window Explorer, and then click the setup.exe icon.
2. If this is an Initial installation, you may see a message asking if you
want to install Microsoft .NET Framework. If so, select
Yes. (The 3.5 SP1
version of .NET is located on the CD.)
Depending on the version of the computer’s OS, the system may reboot automatically during this process.
Note After an auto reboot, it may take several minutes for the system to display the
Soft Panel installation welcome screen.
The Soft Panel Welcome screen will then appear (Figure 2).

Configuration
The PC, on which the Soft Panel application is installed, must be configured to communicate with the Jupiter AccuSwitch Controller. Consult with your Network administrator for this information.
During the following steps, you will need to know the IP address of the primary AccuSwitch Controller (and the secondary, if it is installed) that will be associated with the Soft Panel and the PC’s IP address. Use the Jupiter File Server JNS Control Center application’s Board Info tab to deter mine the AccuSwitch Controller IP address (the Control Center application is described in the Jupiter CM-4000 Installation and Operating manual).

The following overview assumes that the reader is familiar with the Jupiter Facility Control System. If not, please refer to the Jupiter CM-4000 Installa tion and Operating manual.
MPK Table Entries
Although the Soft Panel and VSD applications are not actually an MPK­type panel (it does not use the Message Per Keystroke protocol), the MPK table is used for configuration purposes.
MPK Device - This column is used to create a name, up to eight characters in
length, for each Soft Panel. This name must be unique system-wide.
Type - Select type “CP-ESLAN” on the pull-down menu. Select
“CPESXTND” for use with 98 categories.
Expansion - Not used for Soft Panels (leave unchecked).
Password - Not used for Soft Panels.
Jupiter File Server Settings
-
Board - Name of AccuSwitch Controller associated with this Soft Panel. The
source of this name is the Network Description table.
Port - Not used for Soft Panels.
Address - Panel address from 01 to 64. Must be unique for panels associated
with the same AccuSwitch Controller. This number is referred to as the “Device ID” on the Soft Panel “Devices > Settings” menu.
Input Set - Name of CP Input Set to be assigned to this panel. The usual prac-
tice is to have one CP Input Set, containing the names of all sources, be applied to all panels. However, special CP Input Sets could be created which list only selected sources. Such a set could be used to prevent certain panels from selecting specific sources.
In Panel - This column is not used for Soft Panels.
Out Set - Name of the CP Output Set to be assigned to this panel. If the entry
is an actual CP Output Set, then the control panel will be able to control all the destinations listed in that Set. Depending on the contents of the set, this would allow for full-matrix or multi-bus control. The source of the destina tion name is the Switcher Output table.
Out Panel - This column is not used for Soft Panels.
Level Set - Select the CP Level Set name.
-
Override - Not used for Soft Panels.
Sequence - A Sequence Set can be created and named, which, when assigned
to a panel, makes the sequences in that set available on that panel.
Jupiter AccuSwitch Soft Panels and Visual Status Display Instruction Manual 13
Section 1 — Soft Panel Introduction
Control Panel Sets
The router sources and destinations for the Soft Panels are specified by cre-
ating a CP Input/Output sets of type of CPESXTND for device type
CPESXTND, or CP-3800 for the device type CP-ESLAN. Soft panels use
level and sequence sets of type CP-3800.
These sets are assigned to each panel using the MPK Devices table.
The CP Input and Output sets are also the source of the eight-character
mnemonics displayed on the panel.
VSD Control panel sets must contain all Sources, Destinations, and Levels
to display the status correctly.
Compiling
Before the panel can be used, the edited Jupiter set must be compiled and
the appropriate configuration set made active using the Control Center. For
more information, please refer to “Configurator” in the Jupiter CM-4000
Installation and Operating manual.
