CHAPTER 6: THE RMS REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEMAn optional RMS remote monitoring system module can be
installed in the JM-1P, allowing it to be connected to an
RMS network. RMS allows real-time monitoring of multiple
Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers from a Windows-
based computer. The RMS host computer communicates
with Meyer Sound loudspeakers (equipped with RMS mod-
ules) via a simple twisted pair network, or an Ethernet net-
work using an FT-10 to Ethernet adapter.
NOTE: For the latest RMS system require-
ments, go to the Meyer Sound website
(http://www.meyersound.com).
NOTE: RMS-equipped loudspeakers include a
Mute Jumper that can be installed to enable
the loudspeaker’s mute and solo capability. Meyer
Sound currently ships RMS-equipped loudspeakers
with the Mute Jumper installed. These mute-enabled
loudspeakers can be identified by the blue “ME”
sticker on the face of the RMS module. Older RMS-
equipped loudspeakers can easily be mute-enabled
by installing the Mute Jumper. For more information,
refer to the RMS User Guide.
NOTE: The RMS software allows you to dis-
able Mute and Solo functions to eliminate any
possibility of accidentally muting loudspeakers. Mute
and solo capability can also be disabled by removing
the Mute Jumper from RMS modules. For more infor-
mation, refer to the RMS User Guide.
NOTE: RMS does not control AC power.
THE RMS SOFTWARE
The optional RMS software provides extensive system sta-
tus and performance data for each loudspeaker, including
amplifier voltage, limiting activity, power output, driver sta-
tus, as well as mute and solo capability. Loudspeakers are
added to the RMS network and assigned a node name dur-
ing a one-time commissioning procedure where the loud-
speaker is identified by either entering its unique Neuron ID,
or by pressing its Service button.
Once loudspeakers are identified on the RMS network, they
appear in the RMS software as icons and views; they are
also automatically added to the RMS database on the host
computer.
