Assigning a Breakaway Step Button
An RCP-ME may have several breakaways defined. If you want to cycle through the breakaways that have a
non-zero level mask, a breakaway step button needs to be assigned to the RCP-ME. The button for the breakaway
illuminates as it is selected. If you hold the breakaway step button for each breakaway, the levels defined in that
breakaway are represented by eight hexadecimal characters on the screen. For help with reading the levels from the
hexadecimal characters see Tabl e 17 .1.
To assign a breakaway step 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 breakaway step.
The Button configuration box opens.
3. In the Button list, select Function Key.
4. In the Val ue field, select Breakaway Step as the function to assign to this button.
5. Close the Button configuration box.
The simulated RCP-ME in DashBoard shows the name of the breakaway step (BRK STEP) on the selected
button.
6. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “To send the current configuration to a panel” on
page 74).
Router Levels
The RCP-ME sends switch requests to the routing switcher. Each routing switcher is assigned a default level from
the factory (or number of levels if it has been partitioned). These level assignments can be changed through the
Panel Config interface in DashBoard.
When the RCP-ME is connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller, the level names will be
overwritten with data from the Ultrix or Ultricore.
