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 -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.

18 18  The IP address and IP-ID of each GLPAC is important to proper functionality. Unless otherwise requested, Chief Integrations will assign default IP addresses to all GLPACs on the job. These IP addresses are typically recorded in the provided hardware takeoff, or can be checked by running the ##ipt -t ##command from the processor after the configuration is loaded. DIN-CENCN-2's will typically have IP-IDs in the "##Dx##" range.. If network requirements on the jobsite require changing the IP address of any GLPAC or the processor, then both the provided configuration file and load script will need to be updated with the new IP information.

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™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Advanced Tools.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.
