Each of the 4 encoder knobs increments/decrements the associated field in the IP address. Pressing any 
one of the encoder knobs saves the new IP address in flash memory. The RCP must be restarted before the 
new address takes effect. 
 
The SUBNET MASK and GATEWAY pages work exactly the same way (default values are shown): 

 
SUBNET MASK 

GATEWAY 

 255.255.255.0  

0.0.0.0 

255 | 255 | 255 | 000 

000 | 000 | 000 | 000 

 

 
The contrast adjustment page looks like this: 
 

LCD CONTRAST ADJUST 
 
CONT |    |    | 

 
where the first encoder adjusts the contrast of the main LCD display. 
 
Push the ALT pushbutton to access four additional set-up controls: 
 

 

 
 
The first two function keys permit the user to set up the RCP-100 as a SERVER or CLIENT, and to 
determine which services and tasks are running. See section 3.4 for a discussion of networking issues. 
 

Srvice Config 

Pressing SRVICE CONFIG brings up a screen at which the supported services and tasks can be turned ON 
or OFF, as follows: 
 

SRVICE CONFIG 
ICOM | DCOM | DSRV | 
 ON  |  ON  |  OFF | 

 
ICOM:  activate or deactivate the Imaging Server tasks and services, which ensure communication with   
Miranda’s Imaging series of frames and cards. 
 
DCOM:  activate or deactivate the Densité Server tasks and services, which ensure communication with   
Miranda’s Densité series of frames and cards. 
 
DSRV:  enable/disable the Directory Services task.  
 • If the RCP-100 is a SERVER, DSRV must be ON 
 • If the RCP-100 is a CLIENT, DSRV must be OFF 
 

Note - In practice, we will not have separate directory services (DSRV) for the Client and the 
Communicator. In a system with several RCP-100 units connected to different frames, only one 
directory services is allowed. 
 
The DSRV IP address is automatically set to the value of the RCP-100’s IP address when:
