CHAPTER 4
To add and commission a loudspeaker, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. From the Add menu, click the name of the loudspeak-
er you want to add. The Add Loudspeaker dialog
appears.
2. Enter a unique eight-character name that identifies the
loudspeaker on the network in the
Device Name
field.
CAUTION:
Don’t include any spaces or
punctuation other than a hyphen (-) in the
Device Name. For example, NODE001 or NODE-
001 is acceptable; NODE 001 is not. Only the
Speaker Title may include spaces and/or punctua-
tion.
NOTE:
The Device Name field initially con-
tains an automatically generated name with
a number appended to it; the number is increment-
ed each time a new loudspeaker is added to insure
each loudspeaker receives a unique name. How-
ever, it’s much more useful to override this name
with one that better describes the loudspeaker
type and/or the location of the loudspeaker in the
system.
3. Enter up to a twelve-character name that will be
used to identify a speaker in the current Panel in the
Speaker Title field. This name does not need to be
unique. The Press the Service Pin dialog appears.
4. Click
OK
. The Commission the Loudspeaker on the
Network dialog appears.
5. In the Device Type drop-down box, select either RMS3
or Prod6h according to the type of firmware the loud-
speaker supports. Click
Commission to connect to
the loudspeaker on the network.
TIP: If you click Cancel in the Commission
the Loudspeaker on the Network dialog,
RMS will not be connected to the loudspeaker.
This can be useful for setting up a Panel before
physically connecting to a loudspeaker network.
You can commission loudspeakers later by right-
clicking on the loudspeaker icon and clicking
Commission .
NOTE: RMS3 and Prod6h are the only two
Device Types currently compatible with
RMS. To find out which type a loudspeaker uses,
look on the user panel of the loudspeaker. If the
loudspeaker uses RMS3, the user panel will be la-
beled “RMS3”; if the loudspeaker uses Prod6h, the
user panel will not be labeled. Note that all newer
loudspeakers (manufactured in the year 2000 and
later) use the RMS3 firmware; Prod6h is an older
format.
CAUTION: The Add Device Type button is
reserved for future versions of RMS which
may utilize additional firmware types.
6. Press the Service Pin on the RMS user panel of the
loudspeaker. The Service Pin sends a unique ID which,
combined with the device name, uniquely identifies
that loudspeaker on the network.
