When both power supplies are working properly, Pin 3 (Normally Open) is
open with respect to Pin 2 (Common). If there is a power supply failure on
either AC circuit or power supply, Pin 2 and Pin 3 will close.

An external alarm may be attached to the connector to operate in one of the
following ways:

■

Connect an alarm between Pin 2 and Pin 3 to switch on when the AC
input or either power circuit fails or when either power supply fails.

■

Connect an alarm between either Pin 1 or Pin 6 and Pin 2 to open when
the AC input on either circuit fails or when either power supply fails.

Connect an alarm between Pin 1 and Pin 6 to open when the AC input

■

on either circuit fails or when either power supply fails.

Note

Connecting between Pin 1 and Pin 6 is recommended only when the alarm
relay is used to switch open an inductive load such as an AC-powered relay
that cannot otherwise be protected with an external shunt diode.

The alarm relay contacts should be rated for 100 mV to 28 V AC or DC at
100 to 500 mA.

MMCP Installation/Operation Manual 1-7

Section 1 — Installation

Network Configuration

Setting MCP Net IP Address

The MMCP communicates with the M–2100 frames over a separate MCP
Net Ethernet network. The M–2100 frames communicate with other
external devices over the Facility LAN. The IP address of each panel must
be set to put it on the specific MCP Net where the frames it will control
reside. This must be done before you connect panels to the network.

If this is a new installation, you may use the default MCP Net IP addresses
of the panel and frame set at the factory. They should be on the same MCP
Net. If more than one panel or frame is present, you will need to change the
last octet of the MCP Net IP address of each of the additional devices. Each
device must have a unique IP address (first three octets are the same, the
last one different). The default IP address set at the factory for the MMCP
is 192.168.0.250.

If you are installing a panel into an existing network, you will need to
change the IP address of each panel so it is on the same MCP Net as the
frames it will be controlling (first three octets are the same, the last one dif­ferent).

If you don’t know the MCP Net IP address of the existing network, you will
need to query your frame through Console Port J4 on the rear of the frame
to determine what MCP Net IP address has been assigned. Your network
administrator may also be able to tell you what IP addresses are used at
your facility.

There are two methods for setting the IP Address,

Netburner IPSetup PC Tool

The Ethernet card in the MMCP runs on the Netburner operating system.
You may use the Netburner IPSetup.exe PC tool included on the floppy
disk that accompanies the panel to set the IP address of the panel.

Note

This utility can also be downloaded free of charge from the Netburner.com
web site.

Use the following procedure to set the IP address using the Netburner PC
tool.

Connect a PC and one MMCP to the same 10 BaseT Ethernet network.

Note

Only one panel at a time should be connected to the PC to allow positive iden­tification of the panel to be programmed.

Open the Netburner IPSetup.exe application and locate the panel on
the network as shown in Figure 1-10. The application will find
Netburner devices on the network and identify them by their MAC
addresses.

Direct PC Connection

You may use a PC equipped with an Ethernet interface and a web browser
to change the panel IP address as follows.

Connect the PC’s Ethernet port directly to the MMCP panel ENET RJ45
connector J2 (Figure 1-9 on page 1-6).

Note

A crossover Ethernet cable (Tx/Rx pair crossed) is needed when connecting
a PC directly to the panel without a hub intermediary.

Run the web browser and type in the default IP address of the MMCP
panel as http://192.168.0.250. The PC IP address must have a network
value (first three octets) that matches the default IP address.

If the address is found, a

through bright, dim and off states. For switches with two LEDs, both
LEDs will be cycled though all combinations.

■ Lamp Test — All LEDs will be turned on in sequence. The current LED

number will be displayed.

■ Display Test — All displays are identified by number while the intensity

is cycled through all states. All possible ASCII characters are also
cycled.

■ Knob Test — An absolute signed value will be shown for each shaft

encoder. Turn knobs to send delta values to the frame. Press any button
to clear and reset the displayed values.

Introduction

The Mini Manual Control Panel shown in Figure 2-1, provides an alterna­tive to automated control of the M–2100 Serial Digital Master Control
System. A single MMCP can control up to sixteen channels (frames), eight
channels selectable at any given time. Automation can be disabled at the
