5. Press Enter.
The name of the item of destination/source equipment appears on the corresponding button on the simulated
RCP-ME in DashBoard.
6. Repeat step 1 to 5 until all of the outputs and inputs on the routing switchers have been assigned a label for the
connected destination and source equipment.
7. If you want to transfer the labels for the outputs/inputs to the other assigns tab, click Copy to Input
Assigns/Copy to Output Assigns.
The number of outputs/inputs is also copied.
8. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “To send the current configuration to a panel” on
page 74).
If there are various router levels using this output or input number, the label may be ambiguous if the destination
or source is different for those levels.
You may rearrange the layout of the labels on the buttons when you assign functions to the buttons (see
“Assigning Functions to Buttons on the RCP-ME” on page 46).
Assigning a Destination or Source Button
Destination and source buttons map the physical connections on the routing switcher to the RCP-ME. You can
provide labels for these physical connections using the Input Assigns and Output Assigns tabs in the Panel Config
interface for the RCP-ME.
Assigning a Destination to a Button
A destination represents the device that receives the physical output from the routing switcher. The destination is
selected by pressing the button, but the switch is not made until the required source button is pressed. By default, all
20 buttons in the bottom row of the RCP-ME are assigned as destinations.
If there are no destination buttons assigned to the RCP-ME, it operates according to the Cutbus mode setting (see
“Cutbus Mode” on page 71).
To assign a destination to a button
1. Open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface (see “To open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface” on page 22).
2. On the simulated RCP-ME, click the button that you want to use for the destination or source.
The Button dialog opens.
3. In the Button list, select Destination.
4. Use the Value list to select the physical output that connects to the item of destination equipment.
The simulated RCP-ME in DashBoard shows the label for the specified output on the selected button. If you
have assigned a name to this output/input using the Output Assigns tab, this name appears on the button.
5. Close the Button dialog.
6. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “To send the current configuration to a panel” on
page 74).
You can use the State options to assign three physical outputs to the same button: Default, Shift1, and Shift2.
When shift buttons are assigned to the RCP-ME, the physical output assigned to that button on that shift page is
used for the switch. For more information see “Assigning a Shift Button” on page 48.
If you have virtual routing enabled in the RCP-ME, the output that you enter represents the virtual destination as
set up in the NK-VRC Virtual Routing Core or Ultricore control system.
