RMS Enterprise - Installation Checklist
Control System Requirements
RMS SDK Support
Touch panel files for G4 panels
NetLinx modules (RFID is supported only on Duet-enabled NetLinx hardware)
Each RMS Server supports up to 3000 Locations with SDK4, or up to 1000 SDK3 Locations
Supported Central Controllers
64MB Controllers - Duet Memory Allocation
By default, Duet memory is set to the lowest possible amount to keep all available memory open for running
NetLinx code. This assures that if the Controller is loaded with a very large NetLinx program but doesn’t have
any Duet modules, then the NetLinx code will run efficiently.
However, when Duet modules are added to the program, they use some of the (SDRAM) memory required by
the Controller’s web interface to load.
In some cases, when a NI Controller or Enova DVX-2100HD All-In-One Presentation Switcher is connected
to an RMS Server, the Controller (or Switcher) can eventually reach a point where the amount of available
Duet memory gets too low to adequately support the Controller’s web interface. If this occurs, the web
interface will fail to load, and Telnet will report an out-of-memory error.
This issue can potentially affect any Controller with 64MB of SDRAM memory. Most NetLinx Integrated
Controllers, as well as the Enova DVX-2100HD All-In-One Presentation Switcher feature 64 MB of SDRAM
memory, with a default Duet memory allocation setting of 12MB.
Systems with more than 50 locations require Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard or
Enterprise Editions. Microsoft SQL Server "Express Editions" are not appropriate for
system with more than 50 locations. See Supported Database Platforms on page 8.
Supported Central Controllers
RMS SDK v4.0 / v3.0 RMS SDK v3.0 only
Note: RMS Enterprise supports the following NI Central
Controllers and Enova DVX/DGX Switchers with at least
64 MB RAM:
NI-3101-SIG
NI-2100 / NI-3100 / NI-4100
NI-700 / NI-900
Enova DVX-2150HD / DVX-2155HD
Enova DVX-3150HD / DVX-3155HD
Enova DVX-2100HD
Enova DGX16 / 32
Note: Version 4 Firmware is required for SDK v4.
NI-2000 / 3000 / 4000
NI-700 and 900 (32 MB)
NXC-ME260
NXC-MPE
Note: Support for RMS SDK v3.0 only Controllers
is provided via the RMS Enterprise Backwards
Compatibility service using the RMS 3.x SDK.
These systems will continue to operate using the
feature set of RMS 3.x. New features included in
RMS Enterprise may not be available to these
systems.
RMS SDK v4 requires NetLinx Master version 4 firmware; connection instability and
Master lockups may result if using version 3 NetLinx Firmware with SDK v4.
