5. CONTROL PANELS
5.1 INTRODUCTION
There are now a number of different generations of Trilogy control panels in service. Those
which are part of the current range are listed in the following section. Panels which are no
longer supplied (legacy range) are covered in section 8.5.
The followin
g general points should be noted:
• All control panels connect to the matrix in point to point topology. Each panel utilises a
single matrix port, although on some models, expansion panels may be connected to a
single “master” panel using the expansion in and expansion out connectors fitted on
the rear of the panel. Two standard 24 key panels may be linked together, for example to
provide 48 keys for an operator, but only utilising a single matrix port.
• Panel firmware may be re-programmed locally using the appropriate software utility and
connection cable. Contact Trilogy Communications for more information.
