CHAPTER 4
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 commissioning 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 communica-
tion board shown back in Figure 4.3 are
used exclusively by RMS, and have no effect
on the acoustical and/or electrical activity of
the 600-HP itself — unless MUTE or SOLO
is enabled on the RMS module and from the
RMS software.
USER INTERFACE
The RMS software features an intuitive, graphical 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, drivers and power
supply. System status conditions cause changes in icon
and bar graph indicators, alerting the operator to faults or
excessive levels. The views are moveable and are typically
arranged on the screen to reflect the physical layout of the
loudspeakers. You can design a screen “panel” of icons or
meters, as shown in Figure 4.4, and save it on the com-
puter’s hard disk, with the panel conveniently named for a
unique arrangement 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.
