5–8 • Operating the RCP-NKM RCP-NKM User Guide (v3.0)
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-ASIGN button will depend on the priority assigned to
the panel and the resource in the NK-VRC virtual routing core.
Operating Linked Remote Control Panels
You can link RCP-NKMs together, or link them with RCP-NKMs. The remote control panels must have panel link
addresses set, as described “
Linking Remote Control Panels ” on page 4–4. Once these addresses are set correctly,
the remote control panels transfer status, request and response information between them. Effectively, the remote
control panels combine to form one big remote control panel. Up to 255 remote control panels may be linked
together.
If you want to define all the crosspoints that you need without using menus and pages, you need as many keys as
there are crosspoints.

The input and output assign labels should be identical across all remote control panels.
Function Keys
Once remote control panels are linked, they operate in a similar manner as the unlinked state. If a special function
key (
CHOP , DST / SRC SH1 / SH2 , DE-ASN , or a panel lock, protect, breakaway, breakaway step or machine
control) is assigned to one remote control panel, it is effective across all linked remote control panels, regardless of
the location of other relevant keys.
Notes
Keep the following in mind:
• A TAKE key does not operate across menus within the same remote control panel however, it does operate
across linked remote control panels as long as it is on a current menu at the time that the source/crosspoint/macro
key is pressed.
• If a TAKE key is assigned, the selected source/crosspoint/macro key and the TAKE key flash to indicate that the
remote control panel is waiting for TAKE to be pressed.
Destinations and Sources
Destinations and sources from different remote control panels may be switched.
Crosspoints
Crosspoints can only be programmed to a remote control panel via the DashBoard, so these are specific to the
remote control panel.
