Setting Up The Rcp-Qe; Implementing Your System Plan - Ross NK Routing Systems RCP-QE User Manual

Setting Up the RCP-QE

The RCP-QE panel can be set up using DashBoard. You must have an NK-NET, NK-IPS, or Ultricore Central
Controller connected to the T-BUS system to connect to NK Series devices.
The parameters for a device can be saved to a configuration file.
For More Information on...
• checking and upgrading firmware, see "Checking the Firmware Version" on page 3–5 and "Upgrading the
Firmware Version" on page 3–5.
• saving parameters to a configuration file, see "Saving the Current Configuration for the RCP-QE" on
page 4–32.

Implementing Your System Plan

An effective routing system takes careful planning. If you intend to use multiple router levels across several input
and output devices, it is recommended that you use common input connectors for each source device across the
routing switchers and common output connectors for each destination device across the routing switchers. This
methodology is shown in Figure 4.1. The following process for setting up the RCP-QE is recommended.
Enter the connection
details for the NK-NET
