CP-2232E
Remote Control Panel
Revision 1.1 Page 1
1. OVERVIEW
The CP-2232E remote control panel features two high resolution color touch-screen LCD displays
alongside an array of function assignable and dynamic LCD buttons. The two LCD displays
intelligently interact with the panel's buttons and rotary controls, updating automatically as different
operation facilities are selected.
Each of the 32 LCD buttons is capable of displaying a multiple character text string or a graphical
image. They can also be configured with a menu structure which allows quick navigation through the
systems. When a menu button is pressed some or all of the buttons change their function and legend.
Their operation is then defined by the configuration setup for this new menu. The selection of a new
menu can also be configured to change the graphical display of one or both of the LCD screens.
The CP-2232E is the flagship panel of Evertz advanced control system, allowing control of automated
tielines and pathfinding, and advanced breakaway routing while still supporting basic routing concepts
like levels and categories. The CP-2232E requires the EQX SERVER Control System for router
control.
The CP-2232E panel incorporates advanced control of all of Evertz's SNMP enabled devices. Devices
or certain controls of devices can be grouped and/or ganged together and associated with sources
and destinations on routers so that when a particular source or destination is used the appropriate
controls are loaded up for interfacing on the panels LCD screens. This allows simple but powerful
interfaces to be built to control parameters and recall presets for SNMP equipment in your facility as
well as integrate with router systems.
The CP-2232E enables users to have real-time control over a MVP or VIP system, display graphical
visualizations of layouts prior to loading them, control what signal is routed to what multiviewer
window, select an audio to be monitored, etc. The CP-2232E is a very sophisticated advanced panel
that allows you to create a very powerful and very simple interface to your entire system so users
have real-time control over signals, displays and their router destinations.

minutes.
4.3. CONFIGURING THE NETWORK SETTINGS
The Network screen enables the user to configure the network settings for network ports A and B.
The following procedure outlines how to set an IP address.
1. To change the IP address, toggle to the appropriate number using the bottom left Select shaft
encoder (S1). Turning the shaft encoder clockwise will enable the user to advance forward and
highlight the appropriate value. Turning the shaft encoder counter-clockwise will move the
selection tool backwards.
2. Once the desired value is highlighted (the text will be bright yellow), use the bottom right Change
shaft encoder (S4) to adjust the value of the selected number. Turning the shaft encoder
clockwise will increase the number value, while turning the shaft encoder counter-clockwise will
decrease the number value.
3. If you wish to apply your changed network settings, press the Apply option on the touch-screen
OR select the Apply soft-key (L20) button.
4. Bonding may be chosen if you wish the CP-2232E to use the same IP address on BOTH Ethernet
ports. This setting is ONLY to be used if ONE Ethernet cable is plugged into a single network OR
if two completely isolated networks are in use. Using bonding, and plugging both ports into the
same switch will cause a network loop and unsavoury results on your network.
4.4. TESTING THE PANEL’S FUNCTIONALITY
The Test screen enables the user to test the functionality of the LCD touch-screens and LCD soft-key
buttons. The Test screen lists four main test options: Key Test, LCD Test, Touchscreen Test, and
