4–30 • Setting Up the RCP-QE RCP-QE User Guide (v02)
3.
Select the Configuration tab.
4.
In the Panel Link Address field of the Panel Link area, enter the individual address (between 1 and 254) that
you want this particular remote control panel to use. By default, the panel link address of a remote control
panel is set to zero (0).

If a panel has a Panel Link Address of 0 , it cannot have the same address of another panel or other NK series
device. If it does, the results will be unpredictable.
5.
Send the current document to the device as outlined in the section “ Sending a Configuration File to a Device ”
on page 4–33.
6.
Repeat this process for all of the remote control panels that you want to link together.
Setting Up Virtual Routing and Resource Management
So far, the routing systems described in this user guide use physical switching only. That is, source 1 on level 1
refers to the first input on the back of a routing switcher assigned to level 1. When an NK-VRC Virtual Routing
Core is added to the system, virtual routing is possible. With virtual routing, physical inputs and outputs are mapped
to virtual sources and destinations. For example, a virtual source may switch input 15 on level 1 and input 27 on
level 2.
The RCP-QE must have virtual routing enabled to use this feature. When virtual routing is enabled, the sources and
destinations that you assign on the RCP-QE refer to the virtual sources and destinations as defined in the NK-VRC.

The Ultricore control system on which Ultrix and Ultricore Central Controller operate, is a logical control
system. If the RCP-QE is connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller, virtual routing (also
known as logical routing) must be enabled.
Additionally, resource management may be implemented on the NK-VRC to manage routing of different signal
types between one or more routers using external resources. If using resource management, assigning a de-assign to
a button will allow the user to park the resource inputs and outputs and de-allocate the resource to be used in other
routes.

• setting up and using an NK-VRC see the NK-VRC Virtual Routing Core User Guide .
To set up virtual routing and resource management:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see “ Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor ” on
page 4–4).
2. Select the Configuration tab.
3. In the Configuration section, select the Virtual Routing Enabled check box.
4. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “ Sending a Configuration File to a Device ” on
page 4–33).
To assign a de-assign 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, select the button from which to de-assign a resource.
The Button configuration box opens.
3.
In the Button list, select Function Key .
4.
Use the Value list to select Deassign .
5.
Close the Button configuration box.
The simulated RCP-QE in DashBoard shows DE-ASIGN on the selected button.
