Protect A single key that places a block on the current destination, preventing its use by other
sources, and other linked remote control panels. For more information, see “
Assigning a
Protect Key ” on page 4–14.
The protect key may also be used to lock the RCP-NKM (see “ Locking the RCP-NKM ”
on page 5–4).
Take The trigger that ends a hold on a switch sequence. This enables you to press the required
breakaway, destination, then source key combination, or crosspoint key, or macro key, but
not activate the switch until
TAKE is pressed. If you have a TAKE key assigned on a
menu, it affects the behavior of the menu. You must use it to activate any switch that is set
up. If you do not have a TAKE key assigned to the menu, then a switch is made as soon as
the source/crosspoint/macro key is pressed. For more information, see “ Assigning a
TAKE Key ” on page 4–15.
Chop A single key that starts a slow or fast toggle between the two most recently selected
sources for a given destination. For more information, see “
Assigning a CHOP Key ” on
page 4–15.
Shift An extra page of inputs and outputs for a menu. A shift key is assigned to either a source or
a destination. You need one shift key per page, therefore to have two pages of source keys,
you need to assign two source shift keys. For more information, see “
Assigning a Shift to
a Key ” on page 4–16.
De-assign The DE-ASIGN button has two-fold functionality:
• A single key that provides a convenient method for disconnecting machine control ports.
For more information, see “ Setting Up Machine Control ” on page 4–19.
• A single key that allows you to free-up resources when they are no longer needed for a
path. For more information, see “ Setting Up Virtual Routing and Resource
Management ” on page 4–20.
Machine Control Key
(MC Key) A single key that provides a convenient method for toggling reciprocal switching on and
off when machine control is used. For more information, see “
Setting Up Machine
Control ” on page 4–19.
Panel Lock A single key that provides a convenient method for locking the RCP-NKM against
accidental changes. For more information, see “
Assigning a Panel Lock Key ” on page 4–
16.
The panel lock function may also be set using the
Panel Locked check box on the
Configuration tab.
Menu Link A link that accesses a pre-defined menu via a single key. For more information, see
“
Setting Up Menus ” on page 4–7 and “ Assigning a Menu Link to a Key ” on page 4–17.
Menu Navigation A specific menu destination assigned to a key. You can set the key to return to Menu
Number 1 ( Home ), the next or previously visited menu, or go up or down a menu as
defined on the Menu Details tab. If XPoint Layer is selected, you can cycle through the
current breakaway, destination and source. For more information, see “ Assigning Menu
Navigation to a Key ” on page 4–17.
Unassigned A label indicating that the key does not have any of the above key functions assigned to it,
and therefore does nothing when pressed. For more information, see “
Unassigning a Key ”
on page 4–18.
