Assigning Physical Connections for Control by an RCP-QE

Source and destination equipment is physically connected to routing switchers. This connection information must
be displayed meaningfully on the RCP-QE. This information is set up on the Input Assigns and Output Assigns
tabs.
Selecting the Number of Outputs/Inputs
Depending on the size of the routing switchers connected, you may choose to increase or reduce the number of
output and input labels to match the size of the routing switcher if virtual routing is not used. The number can be
changed in increments of 8.

If the RCP-QE is connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller, the number of inputs and outputs
are defined by the Ultrix/Ultricore set up. Changes to Ultrix or Ultricore will overwrite any manual changes
made on the remote control panel.
To change the number of possible inputs and outputs:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see "Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor" on
page 4–4).
2. Perform one of the following:
• To change the number of outputs, select the Output Assigns tab.
• To change the number of inputs, select the Input Assigns tab.
3. Use the Number of outputs/Number of inputs box to enter or select the number of outputs/inputs to match
the requirements of your routing switcher system.
4. Click Update.
5. If you want to transfer this number of outputs/inputs to the other tab, click Copy to Input Assigns/Copy to
Output Assigns. The labels are also copied.
6. Send the current configuration file to the device (see "Sending a Configuration File to a Device" on
page 4–33).
Assigning Output and Input Labels
To assign output and input labels:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see "Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor" on
page 4–4).
2. Perform one of the following:
• To change the label for an output, select the Output Assigns tab.
• To change the label for an input, select the Input Assigns tab.
