Installation Overview

Follow these steps to set up and install the RCP 2000 with

ISS 506 support:

1Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the ISS 506 and all attached devices are turned off and, if applicable, disconnected from the power source.

2Set the RCP 2000 on a table, podium, or other flat surface.

3Connect the RS-232 cable provided with the RCP 2000 to the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the ISS and to the To Switcher port on the rear panel of the RCP 2000; or attach a network cable to the ISS and RCP 2000 Ethernet ports.

4Attach power cords to the ISS 506 switcher, the input devices, and the output devices, and plug them into grounded AC power sources.

5Attach the power cord to the RCP 2000 and plug it into a grounded AC power source.

6Check the default cycle screens in the LCD window. If a screen with the words “ISS 506 Linked” does not appear in the rotation, do the following:

•Ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power.

•Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed.

•Check the communication settings of the RCP and ISS.

7If using a network connection, set up communication with the ISS 506 switcher via IP. See “Setting Up IP Communications,” in chapter 3, “Operation.”

Reset button — Use an Extron Tweeker or other small

 

screwdriver to press this recessed button to reset the RCP 2000

 

unit. See “Resetting the Unit” in chapter 3, “Operation,” for

 

additional information.

Making an RCP Communication Cable

Communication between the RCP 2000 and the ISS 506 is via RS-232 or Ethernet. You are provided with a 12' RS-232 cable. If you need a communication cable of a different length, use the following guidelines to make your own cable.

RS-232 link

Both ends of the RS-232 cable must be terminated with a

9-pin male D connector. See the table below for RS-232 pin assignments.
