CHAPTER 9: MPS-488HP EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY WITH RMS
Wink/Activity LED (Green)
The green Wink/Activity LED indicates the status of the
MPS-488HP:
■
During startup, the LED blinks 10 times.
■
If the MPS-488HP has not yet been discovered, the LED
is not lit after startup.
■
If the MPS-488HP has been successfully discovered, the
LED flashes continuously and flashes more rapidly with
increased data activity.
■
When the MPS-488HP is winked, either by clicking the
Wink button in the RMS software or by pressing the
Identify button on the RMS user panel, the LED is solid
green.
RMS Network Connectors
The two Weidmuller connectors transfer data to and from
the RMS network. Two connectors are provided to allow for
easy connection of the MPS-488HP to the RMS network.
Included with each RMS-equipped MPS-488HP are RMS
cable connectors and mounting blocks for constructing
RMS cables. The RMS blocks allow the cables to be
securely attached to the RMS module with screws.
NEURON ID FOR MPS-488HP RMS MODULE
Each MPS-488HP RMS module has a unique 12-character
Neuron ID (NID) that identifies the MPS-488HP on the net-
work. The NID should be discovered automatically by the
RMServer to which the MPS-488HP is attached, but it can
be entered manually, if necessary. The NID for the
MPS-488HP RMS module is located on the rear user panel
to the right of the orange RMS network connectors (see
Figure 1 on page 53).
RESETTING THE MPS-488HP RMS MODULE
You can use the Identify button to reset the MPS-488HP
RMS module when powering up the unit. This will cause the
MPS-488HP to be undiscovered and removed from the
RMServer inventory.
To reset the MPS-488HP RMS module:
1. Turn off the MPS-488HP by pressing its power switch.
2. Press and hold the Identify button.
3. While continuing to hold down the Identify button, turn
on the MPS-488HP.

4. After the Wink/Status LED blinks on and off, release the
Identify button. The MPS-488HP RMS module is reset
and the unit is undiscovered and removed from the
RMServer inventory.
THE MPS-488HP IN COMPASS SOFTWARE
The MPS-488HP is appears and functions in the RMS tab of
Compass software in the same manner as do loudspeakers.
For the MPS-488HP to be recognized and identified by an
RMServer, it must be powered on and connected to the net-
work. The MPS-488HP is added to the network as a single
node, regardless of the number of loudspeakers attached to
it.
NOTE:
Each MPS-488HP consumes four of
the maximum 50 nodes a single RMServer can
service, while a standard, mains-powered loud-
speaker consumes only one node. A single RMServer
could, for example, service 10 MPS-488HPs (40
nodes) plus 10 mains-powered loudspeakers.
All configuration and monitoring activity beyond physical
connections takes place in the RMS tab of Compass,
including:
Assigning a user-chosen name to an MPS-488HP
■
Editing the product type and name of each loudspeaker
■
connected to an MPS-488HP
■
Appearance and functionality of the MPS-488HP on user
pages
■
Muting and soloing channels of an MPS-488HP
■
Editing the loudspeaker ID of an MPS-488HP.
■
Monitoring power supply voltages for the loudspeakers
attached to an MPS-488HP
