Cutbus Mode
Cutbus is a configuration that creates a default switching panel that only affects assigned outputs on a particular
router. The RCP-ME has three modes of cutbus operation: cutbus off, cutbus normal, or multi.
Setting Up Cutbus Normal Mode
The panel operates in either single cutbus mode or dual cutbus mode.
• Single Cutbus Mode — on the Configuration tab in DashBoard, Cutbus Dest 1 equals Cutbus Dest 2. The display
shows the cutbus status on the top row and cutbus destination on the bottom row.
• Dual Cutbus Mode — on the Configuration tab in DashBoard, Cutbus Dest1 does not equal Cutbus Dest 2. The
display shows the cutbus status for the first destination on the top row and the cutbus status for the second
destination on the bottom row.
To set up normal cutbus operation
1. Open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface (see “ To open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface ” on page 22).
2. Ensure that there are no destinations or crosspoints assigned to any buttons on the RCP-ME at any menu level.
3. Select the Configuration tab.
4. In the Configuration section, select Normal as the Cutbus Mode .
5. In the Cutbus Dest 1 box, enter or select the destination output for the top row of buttons.
6. In the Cutbus Dest 2 box, enter or select the destination output for the bottom row of buttons to use dual
cutbus mode. Set the destination to the same destination as Cutbus Dest 1 if you want to use single cutbus
mode.
7. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “ To send the current configuration to a panel ” on
page 74).
Setting Up Multi Cutbus Mode
In Multi Cutbus mode, the crosspoint buttons are used to access three or more cutbus destinations. Set the
destination on groups of crosspoint buttons to control an output. The display is the same as dual cutbus mode,
except the bottom row (cutbus destination) changes when a crosspoint button is pressed.
Once the Cutbus mode is set to Multi, the panel operates as a collection of crosspoint buttons that, when selected,
will display source and destination information about the selected crosspoint on the LCD screen.
To set up multi cutbus operation
1. Open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface (see “ To open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface ” on page 22).
2. Ensure that there are no destinations assigned to any buttons on the RCP-ME at any menu level.
3. Select the Configuration tab.
4. In the Configuration section, select Multi as the Cutbus Mode .
5. Send the current configuration file to the device (see “ To send the current configuration to a panel ” on
page 74).
