CHAPTER 3
the Service LED will be unlit and the Activity LED will flash
continuously.
NOTE:
When continuously lit, the Service
LED indicates that the loudspeaker has had
a local RMS hardware failure. In this case, the RMS
communication module may be damaged and you
should contact Meyer Sound Technical Support.
Service Button
Pressing the Service button will display an indicator on
the corresponding loudspeaker display icon on the RMS
screen. Press and hold both the Service and the Reset
buttons to decommission the communications module will
from the network. The red Service LED will blink.
Wink LED (green)
When lit, the Wink LED indicates that an ID signal
has been sent from the host station computer to the
loudspeaker. This is accomplished using the Wink button
on the loudspeaker Icon, Meter or Text views in the RMS
monitoring program.
Reset Button
Pressing the Reset button will cause the firmware code
within the RMS card to reboot. However, the commissioning
state of the communications module will not change (this
is stored in flash memory). When used in combination with
the Service button, the communications module will be

decommissioned from the network and the red Service LED
will blink.
Acivity LED (Green)
When the loudspeaker has been commissioned the Activity
LED will flash continuously. When the Activity LED is unlit
(and the red LED is blinking) the loudspeaker has not been
installed on the network.
NOTE:
The LEDs and buttons on the RMS
section of the user panel shown in Figure 3.3
are used exclusively by RMS, and have no effect
on the acoustical and/or electrical activity of the
loudspeaker itself – unless Mute or Solo is enabled
at the module and from the RMS software.
USER INTERFACE
The optional RMS software features an intuitive, graphical
user interface. As mentioned earlier, each loudspeaker
appears on your computer monitor as a "view" in the form
of a status icon, bar graph meter, or text meter (numerical
values), depending on your preferences.
Each view contains loudspeaker identification information
and data from the amplifier, controller, drivers and power
supply of that particular unit. System status conditions
cause changes in icon and bar graph indicators, alerting
the operator to faults or excessive levels. The views are
moveable and are typically arranged on the screen to reflect
the physical layout of the loudspeakers. You can design a
screen "panel" of icons or meters, as shown in Figure 3.4,
and save it on your hard disk, with the
panel conveniently named for a unique
arrangement or performance.
If the loudspeaker installation pattern
changes completely, a new screen
panel can be built. If a different subset
of already installed loudspeakers will
be used for a subsequent show, only
selected loudspeakers need to appear
on the monitoring screen for that
performance.
