CHAPTER 3
Service LED (Red)
When blinking once every two seconds, the Service LED
indicates that the network hardware is operational, but the
loudspeaker is not installed (commissioned) on the network.
When a loudspeaker has been installed on the network
the, Service LED will be unlit and the Activity LED will flash
continuously.
NOTE: When continuously lit, the Service
LED indicates that the loudspeaker has had
a local RMS hardware failure. In this case, the RMS
communication module may be damaged and you
should contact Meyer Sound Technical support.
Service Button
Pressing the Service button will notify the corresponding
loudspeaker display icon on the RMS screen. When used in
combination with the Reset button, the card will be decom-
missioned from the network and the red Service LED will
blink.
Wink LED (green)
When lit, the Wink LED indicates that an ID signal has been
sent from the host station computer to the loudspeaker.
This is accomplished using the Wink button on the loud-
speaker Icon, Meter or Text views in the RMS monitoring
program.
Reset Button
Pressing the Reset button will cause the firmware code
within the RMS card to reboot. However, the commission-
ing state of the card will not change (this is stored in flash
memory). When used in combination with the Service But-
ton, the card will be decommissioned from the network and
the red Service LED will blink.
Activity LED (Green)
When the loudspeaker has been commissioned, the Activity
LED will flash continuously. When the Activity LED is unlit
the loudspeaker has not been installed on the network.
NOTE: The LEDs and buttons on the user
panel of the RMS communication module
shown in Figure 3.3 are used exclusively by RMS,
and have no effect on the acoustical and/or electri-
cal activity of the M1D or M1D-Sub itself – unless
Mute or Solo are enabled at the module and from
the RMS software.
USER INTERFACE
The RMS software features an intuitive, graphi-
cal Windows user interface. As mentioned earlier,
each loudspeaker appears on the computer’s
color monitor as a “view” in the form of a status
icon, bar graph meter, or text meter (numerical
values), depending on your preferences.
Each view contains loudspeaker identification
and data from the unit's amplifier, controller, driv-
ers and power supply. System status conditions
cause changes in icon and bar graph indica-
tors, alerting the operator to faults or excessive
levels. The views are moveable and are typically
arranged on the screen to reflect the physical lay-
out of the loudspeakers. You can design a screen
“panel” of icons or meters, as shown in Figure
3.4, and save it on the computer’s hard disk, with
the panel conveniently named for a unique ar-
rangement or performer.
If the installation pattern changes completely,
a new screen panel can be built. If a subset of installed
loudspeakers will be used for a subsequent event, only
selected loudspeakers need to appear on screen for that
performance.
NOTE: For more information on RMS, please
refer to the RMS User Guide included with
the software.
