Connecting to a Router

1. On the SEL-MCP3 Controller’s Router panel, under Protection Router Settings, enter the IP address of the router.
2. From the Router Protocol Selection menu, choose the communications protocol your router uses:
   • Legacy - Works with Panacea routers.
   • LRC - Works with Platinum, Platinum VX, and IP3 routers.

     Note: With the LRC Protection feature completely utilized, when toggling from LRC to Legacy and back to LRC, it can take up to 10 minutes for all clients to be updated with locked destinations by the Selenio Controller.

3. (Legacy Router Protocol only) Enter the Telnet Login ID to the router you are connecting.

   Usually the default value is leitch.

4. (Legacy Router Protocol only) Enter the password associated with the router Telnet Login ID.

   Usually the default value is leitchadmin.

5. (Legacy Router Protocol only) (Optional) Enter a number for Router Port Offset.

   This setting defines the router offset for both inputs and outputs in the router matrix.

6. Configure your router interfaces in SEL-MCP3 to indicate what levels, inputs, and outputs are valid on your system.

This configuration creates the routing interfaces that are available in the Connection Manager and that are used to perform router protection.
