Resetting Devices

If you want to return to a known operating state and configuration, you can:
• send the default configuration to the RCP-QE (see "Sending a Configuration File to a Device" on page 4–33)
• reset the device
• reload the factory defaults
If the RCP-QE fails to accept any configuration files that are sent to it, then you should reset the device. When you
perform a reset, the RCP-QE takes on the last-known operating state and configuration that is stored in memory. If
the RCP-QE fails to reset, then reload the factory defaults.
To reset a device:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see "Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor" on
page 4–4).
2. Click Reboot.

Viewing Status and Alarms

An indication that alarms are present for a device is visible in the Basic Tree View pane. If a device has one or more
alarms, a small circle appears in the icon for the device.

The status and alarms are also viewable in the Configuration tab of the Panel Configuration editor.
To view the status and any alarms for an RCP-QE:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see "Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor" on
page 4–4).
2. Select the Configuration tab.
3. View the status and alarms in the Alarms section.
The status of the RCP-QE is shown via a number of colored indicators:
• Green – device is connected and operational.
• Yellow – alarm is active. For example, a protect is active on the panel.
• Red – device has been rebooted. Refresh the Basic Tree View in DashBoard to clear this status.
• Orange – no active DashBoard connection. A forced connection is required.

Operating Linked Remote Control Panels

You can link multiple RCP-QEs together, or link them with one or more RCP-ME, RCP-NKMs, or RCP-NKQs, or
combination thereof. The remote control panels must have panel link addresses set, as described in the section
"Linking Remote Control Panels" on page 4–29. Once these addresses are set correctly, the remote control panels
