Riedel 1200 Series SmartPanel Integration Configuration

Caution

Compatibility Note: This information is a general guide and may be incomplete, may not match a specific project implementation, and is subject to change as supported products and versions evolve. Confirm the exact implementation and requirements for each project with Riedel and the relevant equipment vendor, then validate the required functions end to end in the target environment before deployment.

Configuration Overview

A SmartPanel connects to hi through its NMOS interface. Enable the Control Panel App and the NMOS interface on the panel, then add the panel in hi.

Before You Begin

Use Node admin and open Inventory > Nodes. See Manage Nodes.
Confirm the license and session capacity in Required Configuration.
Open the web interface of the SmartPanel with an account that can change its settings.
Confirm the network access in Network Requirements.
Confirm that the Control Panel App is licensed and activated on the panel.
Identify which of the panel's Ethernet interfaces carries NMOS traffic. The panel has four Ethernet connections for management and NMOS, and you select the one used for NMOS. In the Settings menu of the panel, Applications > NMOS Interface selects MEDIA 1, MEDIA 2, or MGNT, and Network holds the network settings of that interface. Make sure hi can reach that interface.

Configure SmartPanel NMOS

Use this configuration to commission a SmartPanel as a hi Hardware Panel.

Device Configuration

Connect the SmartPanel to the control network.
In the web interface of the SmartPanel, assign the Control Panel App KeyBlocks to key modules. hi needs KeyBlocks 1 and 2, or KeyBlocks 1 to 4.
Open CPA and turn on Control Panel App Enable.
Open NMOS Settings, set the port to 4450, and enable NMOS versions v1.2 and v1.3.
Turn on NMOS Enable.

Information

hi 3.0.0 uses the fixed port 4450. Earlier hi releases used port 4490. Set the port on the panel to the value that matches your hi release.

hi Configuration

Add the SmartPanel in Inventory and enter its host name or IP address. Do not add a port; hi uses its fixed NMOS Port.
Confirm that the Node connects. hi must reach TCP Port 4450 and the event endpoints that the panel advertises, and the panel must reach the WebSocket endpoint that the hi deployment configures.

Settings Summary

Setting	Device Side	hi Side
Control Panel App	Control Panel App Enable on	Not configured in hi
NMOS Port	`4450` for hi 3.0.0	Fixed at `4450` not configurable
NMOS versions	`v1.2` and `v1.3` enabled	IS-04 v1.3 and IS-05 v1.1 used see Standards Conformance
Address	Panel interface that carries NMOS	Host name or IP address of the panel

Common Checks

Symptom	Check
The Node does not connect after you change NMOS settings.	Confirm that NMOS Enable is on, the port matches your hi release, and `v1.2` and `v1.3` are enabled. The panel can need a restart after NMOS parameter changes.
The Node connects but keys or displays are missing.	Confirm that the key modules are assigned in the panel settings and that Control Panel App Enable is on. Available key blocks depend on the panel configuration.
A label appears shortened on the panel.	Shorten the text. The panel truncates labels to its display limits; see Known Limitations .
The Node reports that no KeyBlocks were found, or that only one was found.	Confirm that the Control Panel App is licensed and Control Panel App Enable is on, and that at least two KeyBlocks are assigned.

Verify the Configuration

Press a key on the panel and confirm that hi receives the event. Then change a label or LED in hi and confirm that the panel updates.

Control Panel Presets to assign a Preset to the panel.
