Using a Menu
The button corresponding to the current menu is always illuminated.
To use a menu:

2. Press the button that you want to use in that menu.
If the menu has been set up to fall back to another menu, the RCP-QE goes to the predefined menu (see
“
Setting Up Menus ” on page 4–13).

If you need to return to the Home menu but the RCP-QE is not responding, use DashBoard to do this. For more
information see “ Returning to the Home Menu ” on page 4–31.
De-Assigning a Machine Control Port
If you want to stop machine control on a particular port temporarily, you can park the port by de-assigning it.
To de-assign a machine control port:
1. Press the button for the machine control port that you want to park.
2. Press DE-ASIGN .
To unpark the machine control port:
• Make a machine control switch.
De-Assigning Resources
De-assigning resources can be done in two ways:
• Route a different source to that destination that does not require a resource. The assigned resource will
automatically be de-assigned.
• Use the de-assign button.
To-deassign a resource:
1. Select the destination to which the resource is attached.
2. Press DE-ASIGN .
If the selected destination does not include a resource, one of two things will occur:
• If the panel is in MC mode, park the current destination (switch same source number to destination).
• If the panel is not in MC mode, it displays the
MC MODE? message.

The ability of a panel to de-assign a resource using the de-assign button will depend on the priority assigned to
the panel and the resource in the NK-VRC virtual routing core.
