CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING RMSERVER
NOTE:
The logic I/O connectors (Relay out-
puts, +12 V, Inputs 1 and 2) are optically iso-
lated from the RMServer circuitry. In addition, each
COM pin is isolated to allow for the use of appropri-
ate reference voltages for each associated logic func-
tion. A logic function is triggered when the + pin on
the connector receives a voltage 3 to 20 V DC greater
than its associated COM voltage.
Ethernet Connector: RJ-45 connector for connecting
RMServer to an Ethernet network, so it can be controlled
from a computer running Compass control software. Use a
shielded CAT-5e cable (recommended) or high-quality Ether-
net data cable.
RMS termination switch: RMServer is capable of providing
standard 52.3 ohm network termination.
■
To engage network termination on RMServer, use a
paper clip, screwdriver, or similar small implement to flip
the RMS Term switch to the On position.
RMS TP/FT10 Network connectors: The two Weidmuller
connectors transfer data to and from the RMS network. Two
connectors are provided to allow for easy connection of
multiple daisy-chained loudspeakers on the network. RMS
cable connectors and mounting blocks for constructing
RMS cables are included with each RMS-equipped loud-
speaker. The RMS blocks allow the cables to be securely
attached to the RMS module with screws.
RMServer MAC address: The ID displayed on the bar-
coded sticker on the rear panel is the MAC address of the
RMServer unit, which is displayed on the Network page of
the RMS tab in Compass software. (A MAC, or Media
Access Control, address is a unique identifier for a network
interface.)
INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
Rackmount (Meyer Sound Part Number: 40.222.015.01) and
wallmount (Meyer Sound Part Number: 04.222.014.01) kits
are available for RMServer. Two RMServers can be installed
in one rackmount shelf.
For more information on mounting kits for RMServer, con-
tact Meyer Sound.
An integral tie-wrap anchor (width: 0.176 in/4.47 mm) on the
rear panel enables strain relief for power and signal cables
attached to RMServer. Insert a plastic tie-wrap through the
anchor and wrap it around the cables.

SETTING UP AN RMS NETWORK WITH
RMSERVER
To connect RMServer into your system and set up an RMS
network:
1. Attach RMServer to the computer's Ethernet port or to a
network router or network switch.
2. Connect RMServer to your RMS-equipped devices.
3. Configure network settings on RMServer and your com-
puter. For more information see the section "Configuring
the RMServer Web Server" on page 12.
4. Install the Compass control software.
5. Launch and configure the Compass control software.
CONNECTING RMSERVER
Power Connector
RMServer uses a locking PowerCon
AC voltage to the unit. Its internal switching power supply
accepts voltages from 90 to 264 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
CAUTION:
Electrical Safety Issues! Pay close
attention to these important electrical and
safety issues:
■
Make sure the AC power cable has the appropriate
power plug (on the other end) for the area in which you
will operate RMServer.
■
Always use a grounded outlet and plug.
CAUTION:
To comply with EMC standards,
only operate this device with the supplied
shielded power cord.
Remote Computer Connection
RMServer's RJ-45 port connects to a standard Ethernet port
with a shielded Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable. The Ethernet connec-
tion allows the unit to be controlled remotely from a Mac or
Windows computer running Compass control software.
RMServer can operate on the same network as Galileo pro-
cessors and other Meyer Sound network devices.
