7 7  GLPACs are an all-in-one, processor plus 0-10V load controller produced by Crestron. They are available in 4-channel (GLPAC-DIMFLV4) and 8-channel (GLPAC-DIMFLV8) varieties. GLPACs can be used in stand-alone configurations using either the built-in SpaceBuilder program or Chief Integrations' own CI-GLPAC program.

9 9  Most SHOWRUNNER™ jobs using GLPACs are not using them in a standalone configuration, however. SHOWRUNNER™ jobs with networked GLPACs use the 3-Series or 4-Series processor to run the program logic, and treat the GLPACs as load controllers rather than as separate processors. Each GLPAC must have its IP settings configured, be loaded with a GLPAC-Expansion program, and then have its IP table updated.

52 -Theoretically, GLPACs should be able to be configured over Ethernet using a computer that is running a DHCP server (or if they are on a network with a processor that has a control subnet or is running the [[SHOWRUNNER™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ User Guide & Wiki.Troubleshooting.DHCP Server.WebHome]]). In practice, however, GLPACs will oftentimes fail to take an IP address from a DHCP server and still require manual configuration via USB.
