Adding the RCP-ME to the DashBoard Tree View
In order to access the RCP-ME in DashBoard and configure its settings, the RCP-ME needs to be detected and the
IP address for the LAN configured for use within a network using Walkabout. Once the network settings are
configured in Walkabout, the RCP-ME is visible in DashBoard and you can update the panel device details, button
assignments, and a configuration file sent to it.
Ensure that DashBoard has all the latest module updates before proceeding.
