factory defaults (see “ Loading Factory Defaults ” on page 4–22).
Router Levels
The RCP-NKM sends switch requests to the routing switcher. Each routing switcher is assigned a level, or number
of levels if it has been partitioned. These level assignments may be changed through the routing switcher’s
configuration editor in the DashBoard.
Name (user definable) The name for the device. The default name for the RCP-NKM is RCP-NKM. This
parameter may be changed to any name that uniquely identifies the device, for
example, RCP-NKM_1. The name may be up to 16 characters in length.
Group (user definable) The group to which the device belongs. This parameter is used to identify items of
equipment that may be in the same location or used for a similar purpose, for
example, equipment in the same rack, or a logical grouping of modules that may be
operated as a group. The group identifier may be up to 10 digits in length.
Details (user definable) The meaningful details of the device. This parameter is used to specifically identify
this device from other devices, for example, OBV Rack 1. The details may be up to
16 characters in length.
Address (user definable) The address is used by each device in the routing switcher system to identify itself to
other devices during communication. The default address for an RCP-NKM is the last
two digits of the serial number, plus 100. Devices should have a unique address.
If you want to link a number of similar remote control panels together so that they
function as one remote control panel, set the same address for each remote control
panel, then set individual panel link addresses for each remote control panel (see
“
Linking Remote Control Panels ” on page 4–4).
