Notes
Keep the following in mind:
• If you click and drag across the level mask, you can rapidly select or de-select router levels.
• The breakaway defined in the first row of the
Breakaway table is the default breakaway.
• You can combine more than one router level in the same breakaway. Give the breakaway a meaningful name that
covers the router levels that you want to use. Limit the name to 8 characters.
• A breakaway warning is caused by no response from the routing switcher system on one or more router levels or
a difference in status of any level in the currently selected breakaway when compared with the first level in the
breakaway
• The default breakaway and any custom breakaways may now be assigned to keys on the RCP-NKM

Resetting a Custom Breakaway to the Default Breakaway Automatically After a Switch
The default breakaway is defined in the first row of the Breakaways table in the Breakaways frame. Typically, this
breakaway is tied, and switches all router levels together. If you want only certain router levels to switch, as defined
in a custom breakaway, you select that breakaway on the RCP-NKM, then make the switch. The RCP-NKM
continues to use that breakaway (as indicated by the key being illuminated) for all further switches until another
custom breakaway, or the default breakaway is selected. If you want the RCP-NKM to reset to the default
breakaway immediately after a custom breakaway is used during a switch, then you should set the RCP-NKM to
reset the breakaway.
To enable the resetting of the breakaway to the default breakaway automatically after a switch
1.
Open the RCP-NKM editor (see “ Opening the RCP-NKM Editor ” on page 4–1).
2.
Select the Configuration tab.
3.
Scroll to the Configuration frame.
4.
Select the Breakaway Reset check box.
5.
Send the current document to the device by clicking
Send Configuration
located on the lower Device
Configuration window (see “ Sending a Document to a Device ” on page 4–23).
Setting Up Menus
Menus may be used to group certain functionality within the RCP-NKM together. You can store up to 250 menu
pages in the RCP-NKM. You can also set up what happens after an activity has been performed in a particular
menu, that is, you can define the fallback. Each menu page provides a new set of 40 keys that you may assign with
new functions.
For example, if you set up a menu containing all the breakaways, another menu containing all the destinations and
another menu containing all the sources, you can set up the menus so that once you have selected a breakaway, the
menu containing all the destinations is shown so that you can select a particular destination device. Following this,
the menu containing all the sources is shown so that you can select a particular source device. Another use may be
to define all the different classes of inputs, then assign these to menu links on the top row of keys on the RCP-NKM
for each menu page. This process can then be repeated for outputs. When this configuration is used, the top row of
keys always stays the same for each menu; it is the function of the bottom row of keys that changes from menu to
menu.
