  • Page 24: Nucleus Operational Overview

    Chapter 2: Operation NUCLEUS Operational Overview NUCLEUS control panels provide user-customized operational control over CCS networked processing and routing devices. Each NUCLEUS control option follows a similar configuration and operational workflow. This workflow consists of creating a NUCLEUS configuration, transferring the configuration to the panel, and then recalling the configuration to control CCS networked devices.
  • Page 25 Network view of your CCS software application, the discovered devices can be added to the NUCLEUS Devices and/or Routers folder. Any device that is in the NUCLEUS Devices folder can be added to the NUCLEUS configuration. NUCLEUS configurations are created using the your configuration wizards. The number of steps required to create a NUCLEUS configuration depends on the control option you are using.

  • Page 26: Using Panel Controls

    The panel controls are divided in to three main areas: the display area, the static controls, and the dynamic controls. Before using the panel controls, you must either access a NUCLEUS configuration, or connect (using an IP address) with device you want to control.
  • Page 27 Figure 2-2. NUCLEUS Display Area QVGA Display The QVGA display shows information about the devices controlled by NUCLEUS. The layout of the display is specific to the software license control option that you are using on the panel.
