Basic Configuration

Keep the following in mind before proceeding with the basic configuration of your panel:
• The DashBoard client software allows configuration and monitoring of the RCP-ME via a computer connected
to the same network as your routing system.
• DashBoard must be run on a computer that has a physical wired ethernet connection. Wireless connections do
not allow device discovery.
• 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 RCP-ME can be added to DashBoard via automatic discovery or manually using the NK-IPS Connection
window. Both methods are described below.
• The DashBoard client software can be downloaded from http://www.rossvideo.com/.
Using DashBoard
When the RCP-ME is attached to the network, it is interrogated and its configuration interfaces are made available
in the DashBoard window. The RCP-ME interfaces are accessed by expanding the RCP-ME node in the DashBoard
Tree View and selecting the appropriate sub-node.
You cannot access the RCP-ME interfaces until the RCP-ME displays in the Tree View in DashBoard.
There are two main RCP-ME interfaces in DashBoard: Connection Editor and the Panel Config. Each interface is
represented as a sub-node under the main RCP-ME node.
To launch DashBoard
1.
Verify that you have installed the DashBoard client software version 8.2 or higher on a PC connected to the
same network as your routing system.
2.
Launch DashBoard by double-clicking its icon on your PC desktop.
