Battery Replacement
A Lithium battery is used to power the system clock within the QM-RMCRX.
Under normal conditions, it lasts for approximately 10 years. In the event that
the clock fails, only an authorized technician should replace it. Refer to the
following caution statement.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Passthrough Mode
Passthrough mode enables Viewport access to any serially controlled device that
is connected through a Crestron control processor, on the Cresnet network or the
Ethernet. That is, it allows direct communication between the PC and a network
device (effectively "passing through" the QM-RMCRX). While passthrough
mode is running, the program currently in memory is suspended and will not
execute. When passthrough mode is exited, the program resumes operation.
Entering passthrough mode for COM port B reinitializes it, which clears the data
for that port.
To establish communication, click
Functions | Enter Passthrough Mode
. Then
select the connection type that exists between the QM-RMCRX and the device.
The choices are Slot (for devices connected to the control system via one of the
card slots on the back panel), Cresnet, or Ethernet. If the connection is through a
