After

Polling, the Device Selection window displays any

connected RW 232 units, as well as Offline versions of all
Rane RW 232 products.

The quickest way to get to the RW 232 Device Edit screen,

if not already displayed, is to click the

Device button on the

far right side of the toolbar. When pressed, a list of the first
fifteen connected devices appears. Click one of the devices—
either an offline device or an actual device—and the selected
device’s edit screen appears. The selected device name is
displayed at the top within the title bar.

Alternatively, after

Polling, the same device list appears in

the

Device Selection window. Select the connected or offline

device from the list and click

OK. The connected unit’s

Device Address is displayed within brackets [ ] to the left of
the device name. Double-clicking on the device name is
equivalent to selecting the device and clicking

OK.

If the installation changes by adding more RW 232 units,

choose

Device > Select, and the Poll button to make the

computer recognize currently connected units.

ECM 64 Devices can also be given custom names, tailored

to your installation. Simply choose

Device > Name Device,

and the following screen appears.

Memory & Security

64, along with other installation-specific information. Select
System > Save Job File to support multiple installations.

Returning to Device Edit from the Site Control panel

requires a password. Right-click on the title bar to Select
Device Edit (password required), or Exit the program.

If more than 16 Memories are needed, they can be saved to

disk and recalled later.

Memory Selection Toolbar

All of Rane’s RW 232 products have 16 programmable

Memories with one working Memory called Memory 0.
Recalling a Memory replaces the working Memory with the
selected Memory. The selected Memory is then displayed next
to the Store button. All control changes are made to working
Memory
, not to the selected Memory. The selected Memory
flashes whenever working Memory does not match it. To save
these settings in one of the 16 Memories, simply click Store,
and the Memory number key. After Storing, clicking any
Memory number instantly recalls it. The 16 Memories are
stored within the units non-volatile Memory, and recalled by:
Selecting a Memory using RaneWare,
or from a control system by
a. Sending a Program channel from memory command, or
b. Sending a Program all channels from memory on all

devices command

Recalling settings allows the room controller to make routing
changes without affecting the input and output levels. There
are three separate Memory recall options that are available to a
room controller:
a. Recall all
b. Recall Input settings only
c. Recall Output settings only

See Program channel from memory on page Manual-17

in the Device Control Language.

Saving & Printing

From the

Device menu, both memories and names can be

saved and retrieved to and from a file. To save both memories
and names, select

Device > Backup Memories to File.

Retrieval of Memories and Names are performed separately.
This allows you to create systems that operate the same but
have separate Names. To retrieve Memories from a file select
Device > Restore Memories from File. To retrieve Names
from a file select

Device > Restore names from File.

A printout report of Mic Mix, Out 1 through Out 3,

Hybrid, AEC and stored phone numbers per memory is
available under

Device > Print Device Report.

Device, Input and Output Names Dialog

ECM 64 can operate all the time through a computer if a

system controller is not installed. To preserve Memory
security with a computer operator, the software can be locked
(under

Device), and a system password can be assigned (under

System > Change Password).

The default password is “

please”.

Memories can be customized with names, through

System

> Site Control Panel Setup.

The Site Control Panel is all an operator needs to recall

Memories. If only a few presets are required, blanking an
entry in the Site Control Panel Setup removes the screen
button. A password is not required to use this screen.

Memory names are stored in the computer, not in the ECM
