Assigning a Display to a Button
Assign the display function to a button if you want to view the status of the currently selected input, output, or
breakaway. This button will show the name of the currently selected input, output, or breakaway.
To assign a display to a button:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see “Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor” on
page 4–4).
2. On the simulated RCP-QE, select the button that you want to use for the display.
The Button configuration box opens.
3. In the Button list, select Display.
4. Use the Val ue list to select one of the following options:
• Current Output — the button displays the currently selected output.
• Current Input — the button displays the currently selected input.
• Current Breakaway — the button displays the currently selected breakaway. If a level button is selected on
the RCP-QE, the level mask is shown as eight hexadecimal characters on the face of the display layer button.
For help reading the levels from the hexadecimal expression, see Table 7.1.
The simulated RCP-QE in DashBoard shows the type of display on the selected button, for example, DISP
INPUT.
5. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “Sending a Configuration File to a Device” on
page 4–33).
When this configuration is sent to an RCP-QE, the button shows the label for the current source, destination, or
breakaway (if the breakaway step button is used to cycle through the breakaways), for example Server 1,
Server 2, or SDI.
Assigning a Salvo to a Button
This function is only available when connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller.
A salvo is a predefined list of switch events. Salvos are stored within a central controlling device such as an Ultrix
router or Ultricore Central Controller and may be accessed by any Remote Control Panel within the system. Salvo
names are handled by the central controlling device and update the RCP-QE salvo names list automatically.
To assign a salvo to a button:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor as outlined in the section “Opening the RCP-QE Connection
Editor” on page 4–2.
2. On the simulated RCP-QE, select the button that you want to use for the display.
