RCP-QE User Guide (v02)
One level may be assigned to a button. You can assign multiple level buttons to an RCP-QE. You can select
multiple level buttons prior to a switch. If you change the level pattern in DashBoard, a breakaway button must be
pressed on the panel for the new level assignment to take effect.
Selecting Breakaways and Levels
To select a breakaway or level:
1.
Press the corresponding button.
The button shows the color and inverse status for a selected breakaway or level. If you have selected a custom
breakaway, and separate level buttons are assigned to the RCP-QE, the level keys corresponding to the levels in
the breakaway also show the color and inverse status for a selected button.
When a breakaway is selected, the status of the routing switcher shown on the button is the status of the lowest
router level in the breakaway.
If a breakaway warning is indicated on the button, it shows the routing switcher status in the current breakaway
when compared to the router levels defined in the breakaway in the configuration.
You cannot add a level to a custom breakaway by pressing a level button.
A breakaway warning is caused by:
› No response from the routing switcher system on one or more router levels.
› A difference in status of any level in the currently selected breakaway when compared with the first level in
the breakaway (or default breakaway if the
Breakaway Warning Mode
is set to default).
To de-select a breakaway:
• Select another custom breakaway, the default breakaway, or a level button.
To de-select a level:
• Press the level button again.
Viewing the Breakaways Assigned to an RCP-QE
You can view the breakaways assigned to an RCP-QE if a breakaway step button is assigned to the RCP-QE. The
breakaway step button cycles to the next breakaway in the list each time it is pressed and shows the name of the
currently selected breakaway, with the breakaway step indicator in the bottom right of the button. As each
breakaway is selected, the level(s) defined in that breakaway are illuminated if corresponding level buttons have
been assigned to the RCP-QE.
To view the breakaways assigned to an RCP-QE:
• Press the breakaway step button repeatedly to cycle through the available breakaways.
The breakaway step button shows the selected status as you cycle through the breakaways. When the default
breakaway is selected, the breakaway step button changes to the default status.
If a breakaway warning exists, it is indicated at the bottom right of the breakaway button and the source button.
To view the levels of a breakaway:
• Hold the breakaway button or the breakaway step button.
An 8-character expression appears on the button. Each character provides a hexadecimal representation of the
use of four levels, from 32 to 29 on the left, through to 4 to 1 on the right.
provides a look-up table for
reading the levels from the hexadecimal characters.
If level buttons have been assigned to the RCP-QE, these show the selected status. The level buttons show the
default status when the default breakaway is selected.
