Assigning a Destination or Source Button
Destination and source buttons map the physical connections on the routing switcher to the RCP-QE. You can
provide labels for these physical connections using the
Input Assigns and Output Assigns tabs in the Panel
Configuration editor for the RCP-QE (see “ Assigning Physical Connections for Control by an RCP-QE ” on
page 4–11).
To assign a destination or source to a button:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see “ Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor ” on
page 4–4).
2. On the simulated RCP-QE, click the button that you want to use for the destination or source.
The Button configuration box opens.
3. In the Button list, select Destination or Source .
4. Perform one of the following:
• For a Destination button, use the Value list to select the physical output that connects to the item of
destination equipment.
• For a Source button, use the Value list to select the physical input that connects to the item of source
equipment.
The simulated RCP-QE in DashBoard shows the label for the specified output/input on the selected button. If
you have assigned a name to this output/input using the
Output Assigns / Input Assigns tab, this name appears
on the button.
5.
Close the Button configuration box.
6.
Send the current configuration file to the device (see “ Sending a Configuration File to a Device ” on
page 4–33).

If you have virtual routing enabled in the RCP-QE, the I/O that you enter represents the virtual destination as set
up in the NK-VRC Virtual Routing Core.
Assigning a Crosspoint Button
When you make a switch, you need to select the level(s) that you are switching using a breakaway or level button,
the destination, and then the source. This requires three button presses. To reduce this effort and the potential for
error, common switch sequences may be set up in a crosspoint.

You should also assign a menu navigation button on the same menu as a crosspoint button. Set the menu
navigation button to
XPoint Layer . This button may be used to toggle through the breakaway, destination, and
source information in the crosspoint.
To assign a crosspoint to a button:
1. Open the RCP-QE editor (see “ Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor ” on page 4–4).
2. On the simulated RCP-QE, click the button that you want to use for the crosspoint.
The Button configuration box opens.
3. In the Button list, select Crosspoint .
4. In the Output list, select the physical output that connects to the item of destination equipment to which you
want to switch.
5. In the Input list, select the physical input that connects to the item of source equipment that provides the
required signal.
6. In the Breakaway list, select the breakaway level that you want to use for the switch.
7. Close the Button configuration box.
The simulated RCP-QE in DashBoard shows X-PNT on the selected button.
