Quick Start Guide ­— RCP 2000 with ISS 506

Support

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

If using an RS-232 connection, connect the provided RS-232 cable 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.

If using an IP connection, connect a network cable to the ISS 506 and the RCP 2000 rear panel Ethernet ports.

NA 12’ male-to-male RS-232 cable is provided with the RCP. This cable can be used to connect the ISS 506 switcher’s RS-232 port to the RCP 2000’s To Switcher (RS-232) port. If you require a different length of cable, you can make your own communication cable (see “Making an RCP Communication Cable,” in chapter 2, “Installation”).

Additionally, you can connect the RCP 2000 to the ISS 506 via Ethernet, through a LAN, using a straight-through cable, or directly, using an Ethernet cross-over cable. (Ethernet cables are not provided.)
