DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Link ID
:
Linking is a process to securely create a “collection” of RCAS devices that prevents unwanted access from RCAS
controllers outside of the collection. Linking begins by setting Link ID on the MicCommander and then sending the
ID to all QT-5100 transmitters that will be part of the collection. To expand the RCAS control network, the same
Link ID can also be shared between multiple MicCommanders (and other RCAS controllers). This allows additional
users to control the same collection of linked transmitters. Steps:
• Selec
t the Device Configuration tab from the Main Menu and then select Link ID.
•
Enter a 5-digit Link ID into the MicCommander manually or allow it to be auto-generated.
•
Assign the same Link ID manually to additional MicCommanders if needed
•
Link/unlink the transmitters:
•
Highlight a desired transmitter on the Active Transmitter list
•
Press the “Menu” button, scroll down the list of transmitter features and select “Link”
•
Selecting Un-Link will clear the Link ID from the QT-5100 transmitter.
When the Link ID is cleared or set to 00000 any MicCommander can control that QT-5100 transmitter.
•
To clear a Link ID from a QT-5100 transmitter where the Link ID has been forgotten or entered incorrectly,
plug and unplug the charger 3 times in quick succession. This will put the transmitter into recovery mode
for 2 minutes, indicated by the status LED flashing a RED/GREEN blinking pattern. While in this mode the
QT-5100 transmits on all 2.4G channels, allowing the easy identification and pairing of transmitters and
MicCommanders that may be on different 2.4 GHz channels.
2.4 GHz Channel
:
The RCAS control system operates in the ISM 2.4GHz RF spectrum with the 802.15.4 protocol and utilizes Zigbee
channels 11 to 26. In this menu, you can change the control channel if there is interference from nearby devices
that may be using similar technology like ZigBee or Bluetooth communications. It is very important to make sure
the MicCommander and the transmitters are on the same control frequency. Should you need to change the
RCAS channel due to interference, it is important to first change all the transmitters you wish to control BEFORE
changing the MicCommander control channel. If a transmitter is not on the same channel as the MicCommander
it will still function as a UHF transmitter but will not be “seen” by the MicCommander and cannot be controlled or
monitored.
