QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron
QM-RMCRX-BA
Identity Code
Every piece of equipment and user interface within the network requires a
unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers
from 03 to FE (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs
reside within all Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as
specified in the software (SIMPL Windows) that runs the system.
Net IDs can be changed from a personal computer (PC) using SystemBuilder
™
or Crestron Toolbox.
The Net ID of the QM-RMCRX-BA has been factory set to
02
, which
designates the QM-RMCRX-BA as a master control unit.
In slave mode, the QM-RMCRX-BA operates as a 2-Series Cresnet or Ethernet
device. For example, the QM-RMCRX-BA can be part of a larger master control
system that includes: audio and video switching, IR, relay control, and Ethernet,
using touchpanels to operate the QM-RMCRX-BA slave through the master
2-Series control system. To operate the QM-RMCRX-BA as a slave, the Cresnet
ID must be set to 03 or higher.
The hardware ID can be changed using Crestron Toolbox. The software ID must
match the hardware ID and is changed using SystemBuilder (page 36).
NOTE:
When in slave mode, the QM-RMCRX-BA cannot address any Cresnet
device on the operating network (only the controlled devices directly connected
to the local ports of the slave, such as drapes, lifts, etc.). Only the master control
system can address Cresnet devices.
NOTE:
When operating in the slave mode, any program loaded in the
QM-RMCRX-BA will not run.
NOTE:
When operating in the slave mode, The QM-RMCRX-BA is controlled
by a 2-Series master control system only.
NOTE:
When operating in the slave mode, Crestron Toolbox functions
(including firmware upgrades) can be used on the slave device.
NOTE:
Ensure that the QM-RMCRX-BA is connected to your computer. For
detailed information on establishing communication between the PC, control
system, and the QM-RMCRX-BA, refer to “Communication Settings” on page
20. If communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting
Communications” section.
1. Once communication is established, the
System Info
window opens and
the
Functions
menu becomes available.
2. Select
