Connecting to the Routing System
Once you have established communication between the DashBoard client and the RCP-ME, you will need to
connect the panel to the routing system. You can specify multiple devices for the RCP-ME to communicate with,
but the panel will only connect to one device at a time (as indicated by the read-only Connected check box beside
the IP Address for the device). The RCP-ME will attempt to connect to the first device listed in the table, and move
to the next device in the table if communication could not be established.
For More Information on...
