1. What type of network are you connecting to? Dynamically Assigned IP Address (DHCP) DHCP means that when the RS20i is connected to the network, an IP Address is automatically assigned to it. The boxes for IP Address, Mask, Broadcast Addr, Gateway and DNS Server 1 are filled in.
Page 107 Go to Setup (System)…Network….Net Diag and enter the IP address of the other network device in the <Select address> box. Press Ping Test and see the message. ‘OK’ means the RS20i is connected to the same network. ‘Fail’ means that the network connection to the other device is not correct.
Page 108 Some local area networks (LANs) have a connection to the internet, some do not. In order to update the RS20i from the Datasat server, there must be an internet connection. To test this, select ‘Net Diag’ and use the Ping Test utility. Select the destination ‘Datasat’ in the ‘Dest:’...
Page 109 RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 109 Use the Dest: box on the Ping Test to check the ‘gateway’ is ‘OK’. If there is PC connected to the same LAN, open an internet browser and go to any public web site such as http://www.datasatdigital.com...

RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 110 Optionally - if there are other desktop PCs and laptops that normally connect to the network, for example the service tech’s laptop or the manager’s laptop, these will normally request an available IP address from the DHCP server automatically. To allow this, the ‘DHCP range’ must be defined: DHCP range 192.168.0.220 –...

RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 111 4.5.1 Events Setup (System) > Automation > Events Figure 83. Automation Events Screen Existing events will be displayed in the Automation Events screen. The front panel adjustment knob must be used to move the selection bar to an existing event for editing. The list will scroll when needed going past the end when there are more events in the list.
Page 112 RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 112 4.5.1.1.2. Event Type When an event is first added the event type defaults to “No Event”, this means the event type is not configured and should be replaced with one of the other event types.
Page 113 RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 113 o Conditional – The action is executed conditionally based on a previous event. Action Type: o Delay – Delay is set in milliseconds with a range of 0-10000ms (10 seconds) o GPO – Select a GPO to set (GPO 1-20 or Projector) by touching the dropdown menu next to “Set”.
Page 114 RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 114 Figure 88. Automation Edit Action screen – Conditional GPO Use descriptive variable names. Try to keep variable names short and simple. The conditional action will not work as expected if the name does not match exactly.
Page 115 Touch OK when finished, or touch Cancel to cancel this task. Fire Event A Fire event will shut down the RS20i audio and display a popup on the home screen that says “Fire!”. The RS20i audio and menus are disabled until the unit is reset from the back power button.
Page 116: Macros
RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 116 Fire event is activated by an event that sets the variable FIRE to TRUE (In the Automation Edit Action screen set Action Type = Set Variable, Variable Name = FIRE, and Set to = TRUE).
Page 117: Automation Buttons
RS20i Installation and Operating Guide Page 117 Continue to define the Macro script by adding Actions before or after existing Actions (highlight existing actions using the front panel adjustment knob). Existing Actions may also be highlighted and edited (select the “Edit” button) or removed (select the “Remove” button).

Page 119: Maintenance And Troubleshooting
The input indicator turns green when there is a low signal applied to the pin. To verify that the RS20i is properly receiving an input from an external source you would need to make the external device send a low signal on that pin. Then confirm that the signal is received by the RS20i by checking if the corresponding circle turns green.
Page 120 (these steps are much like opening a combination padlock): Cycle the power on the RS20i from either the front or rear panel switch. You will only be able to enter touch screen calibration mode for 2 minutes after recycling the power.
