f. Reinitialize the unit by recycling the power or pressing the
HW-R
button while pressing and holding the
SW-R
button. If the
connection is established, the Viewport console should display
some text and the
QMRMCRX>
prompt.
g. If communication still cannot be established, contact Crestron
customer service.
Identity Code
Every 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. The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
In slave mode, the QM-RMCRX operates as a 2-Series control system Cresnet
or Ethernet device. For example, the QM-RMCRX can be part of a larger master
control system that includes: audio and video switching, IR and relay control,
and Ethernet, using touchpanels to operate the QM-RMCRX slave through the
master 2-Series control system. To operate the QM-RMCRX as a slave, the
Cresnet ID must be set to 03 or higher.
From the Viewport console, type:
CNETID XX
(Where “XX” is any valid
Cresnet ID (any number from 03 to FE is designated as a slave mode).
NOTE:
When in slave mode, the QM-RMCRX cannot address any Cresnet
device on the operating network (only the controlled devices connected to the
local ports of the slave). Only the master control system can address Cresnet
devices.
NOTE:
When operating in the slave mode, any program loaded in the QM-
RMCRX will not run.
NOTE:
When operating in the slave mode, The QM-RMCRX is controlled by a
2-Series master control system only.
NOTE:
When operating in the slave mode, Viewport functions (firmware
upgrades, passthrough mode) can be used on the slave device.
Establishing Console Mode on an Ethernet
Slave
Entering serial console mode on an Ethernet slave is no different than on a
master processor: hold down the
SW-R
button while booting up. Once you enter
serial console mode, the COM B LED will flash.
Please be aware that doing this causes the processor to boot up in standalone
mode, rather than Ethernet slave mode. You will notice that the Ethernet master
shows this device as being off-line.
To put the processor back in Ethernet Slave mode
and
use the serial console,
type:
REBOOT
at the console prompt. This will reboot the processor in slave
mode, and enable the serial console.
NOTE:
Booting up in serial console mode will render COM B useless to the
program, as it is being used for the serial console.
