1. Introduction
The Cerebrum CCP-4200B control panel is a 1RU 19” rack mount
hardware control panel with 42 compact LCD buttons for use with the
Cerebrum control and monitoring system and can be configured to control
or show the status of any device connected to the Cerebrum system.
The controls can be configured into one or more sub-panels, each of which
can use an unlimited number of linked ‘pages’ to form a flexible quick
and logical user interface to the system. The panel is configured using the
Cerebrum Form Designer application in the same way as the software
panels within the system.
Each of the buttons has a 64x32 LCD matrix which can either display up to
three rows of multi-lingual text in a chosen font and/or a graphical icon.
One of up to sixty four different background colors and eight brightness
levels can be selected to allow for easy differentiation of functionality,
selection or state.
Eight GPI inputs are available and can be used for any function within
Cerebrum but most commonly are used for selection of router sources
when driven from Camera Operator Control Panel touchdowns.
The panel communicates with Cerebrum using a TCP/IP protocol over a
local or wide area Ethernet network and can be configured to use either
DHCP or a manually assigned IP addresses.
As with other Axon devices when used in manual IP assignment mode the
address, sub-net mask and gateway can be assigned using the configuration
mode of the panel.
The flush mounted LCD buttons and compact depth allows the panel to be
horizontally mounted in a desk or console. The buttons are inserted into
sockets allowing them to be changed in the field in the event of any
accidental damage.
The panel is powered with an external AC-DC brick PSU unit, which can
be attached using the raised metalwork bridges on the rear of the panel.
The panel has two lockable DC power inlets allowing for an optional
redundant PSU in critical applications.

2. Configuration
Panel
Configuration
When powering on the CCP panel and connecting it to a network, all the
LCD buttons will display with a red backlight and show the IP address
that the panel is currently configured to. As shown in the example below:
To configure the Cerebrum control panel you need to enter the
configuration mode. This is done by pressing and holding the first (1) and
last (21) LCD button on the top row down for 10 seconds.
When it enters this configuration mode the display of the panel will
change as follows:
To change the required setting such as the IP address, press the button
marked ‘IP ADDRESS’. The display will then show the current IP address
setting.
The address can be changed by pressing the digit required to change
which will then be highlighted and then using the buttons marked with the
up and down arrows until the required digit is shown. Each digit can be set
until the required IP address is configured, pressing the button showing
OK will save this setting and return you to the configuration mode menu
again.
The settings for the Subnet mask and gateway can be configured in the
same way. The IP Address mode can either be configured to MANUAL or
DHCP, and the Show IP can either be configured to ON or OFF
depending if you want the IP address shown on the panel when there is no
communication to Cerebrum.
When all configuration items have been set as required pressing the last
button marked EXIT will leave the configuration mode and reboot the
panel. A message will indicate when this is in progress and the panel will
come back on with the sign on page as shown at the top of this page. It
will stay like this until communication from Cerebrum tells the panel to
display something else.

Adding the
panel to
Cerebrum
In order to add a CCP-4200B hardware panel on your Cerebrum system
you will need to be running Cerebrum V1.13 or later. To add the panel go
to the Network menu and choose the ‘Add Network Device’item. A
dialog will appear as shown below.
The required Panel Type should be chosen from the drop down list and the
required IP address should be defined for the device. An optional Device
Name can be specified to aid recognition for the panels use or location.
The initial or home page Cerebrum Panel File (.cpf) needs to be specified.
This will determine what the panel will show when the system starts or the
panel is modified.
The default settings that the panels will use for the router, category and
view variables when restarting can be optionally defined for the panel. In
this way multiple panels can use the same CPF file but change their
behaviour based on this information.
The check box for redundant PSU will make sure an alarm or warning is
generated in the Cerebrum system if one of the PSU’s fails.
When you have finished choosing the options press Add to continue. The
panel should now appear at the correct IP address in the System View of
Cerebrum.
When this panel is selected in the System View the control tab of the
Device View should show a mimic of what the panel is currently
displaying. An example is shown below:

8
This mimic allows the user interface to be viewed and tested from the
active server as if pressing the buttons on the physical hardware panel.
Please note this mimic will only be shown on the active Cerebrum server.
The Monitoring tab, in the same way as all other devices within
Cerebrum, shows a historical log of the status events for this panel. These
include PSU monitoring and communication status events.
Configuring
functionality
on the panel
The configuration of what the panel will control or show as status is
controlled by the CPF file referenced when adding the panel. As
previously stated these files are created using Cerebrum form designer
application and is beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to the
Cerebrum form designer manual for an explanation of how these files are
created and edited.
GPI Contacts
The panel provides eight GPI inputs which can be used for different
functionality within Cerebrum. The GPI’s will show themselves in the
Tally and Joystick dialogs of the Cerebrum configuration provided the
panel is given a device name when adding it to the system.
The GPI inputs are internally fed to an optical isolator which provides an
electrical isolation between the input signals applied to the unit. The unit
supplies +5V to one side of the opto-isolator via two 390R resistors. To
trigger the GPI the appropriate input pin will need to be shorted to one of
the two 0V contacts available on the same connector.
The connector on the rear of the unit is a 10 way Phoenix Contact
connector (Phoenix Contact MINI-COMBICON 1,5/10 PCB mounting
vertical socket, 3.81mm pitch –Part No. 1830677). The panel is supplied
with a mating screw terminal connector (Phoenix Contact MINI-
COMBICON 1,5/10 plug-in connector, 3.81mm pitch –Part No.
1827787), so bare ended cables of between 0.14 and 1.5mm2can be
connected with just the use of a small flat blade screwdriver.

Serial Port
The use of the RS-422 Serial port is not currently supported at the
moment. It will be available in future releases.

3. Reprogramming the panel
The firmware on the hardware panel can be reprogrammed via an Ethernet
connection by using a web page available when the unit is in its bootloader
mode.
To put the panel into its bootloader mode, first power the unit on and make a
note of the current IP address setting making sure this address is available from
the PC you will use to reprogram the panel. Then press buttons 1, 3, 19 and 21
at the same for five seconds or more.
The panel will then display a menu with the default and bootloader options.
Press button 10 saying YES to the right of EXIT TO BOOT LOADER.
The unit after a short while will then show a single illuminated button saying
BOOT LOADER.
When the panel is in this mode, it will host a webserver at its IP address. If you
use a web browser and type in the IP address in the address bar it will display
the following page:
To upgrade the firmware supply the user name (‘axon’) and the password
(‘cortex’) and press the Login button.
The browser page will then prompt for a firmware file with the Browse button.

11
If you locate the required file and then press the Upload button the panel will
then reprogram itself.
After successfully programming the unit it will then prompt the user to reset the
MCU.
After doing this the brower will complete and the unit will reset itself and show
the normal starting UI as described above.
