Introduction Overview The Remote Control Panel integrates auxiliary FSN System function control into a convenient 12 button 1RU panel.
Connectivity Diagram The figure below illustrates a basic FSN Series system, showing a typical usage of the Remote Control Panel to switch inputs for FSN AUX outputs.
1. Remote Control Panel Orientation RCP-120 Front Panel The figure below illustrates the RCP-120 front panel: Figure 2-1: RCP-120 Front Panel The RCP-120 provides 12 electronically labeled buttons. Depending on the configuration of the panel, these buttons may have different functions assigned to them. Button 1 is the first button on the left hand side of the panel when viewed from the front. Button 12 is the last button on the right hand side of the panel when viewed from the front.
Following are descriptions of each rear panel connector: 1) 4-Pin Phoenix – RS-232 / IR This connector can be used to connect a serial port from a computer to the panel for configuration via the boot menu. When referenced, “Serial Port 1” is defined as pins GND, RS-232 RX and RS-232 TX. By default, the following conditions are set: • • • • • Baud Rate: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: None Note The IR-TX pin is not supported on the RCP-120.
2. Installation Unpacking and Inspection Inspect the shipping box for damage. If you find any damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments. As you open the box, compare its contents against the packing list below. If you find any shortages, contact your Barco sales representative. Once you have removed all components from their packaging and checked that the listed components are present, inspect each component to ensure there was no shipping damage.
RCP-120 Installation The figure below illustrates a simplified diagram of the FSN Controller and RCP-120 connections and the required cabling. Use this figure for reference during installation. Figure 2-1: Installation Diagram (sample) Use the following steps to install the Remote Control Panel: 1. Follow all installation steps outlined in Chapter 4 of the FSN User’s Guide as necessary. 2.
3. RCP-120 Configuration Soft Reboot / Web Interface Password Reset To perform a soft reboot on the RCP-120, press and hold buttons 2 and 5 for about five seconds. To reset the Web Interface password back to “admin” on the RCP-120, press and hold buttons 1, 4 and 6 while power is being applied. Note This reset procedure will not affect the parameters currently configured in the Web Interface.
6. When prompted for a User Name and Password, use the following: a. User: admin b. Password: admin Note Make sure the computer is set to the same IP Address range as the RCP-120. Consult with your network administrator for more information. Note When connecting to the Web Interface to resolve Duplicate IP Addresses between panels, make sure only one panel with a conflicting IP Address is connected to the network at any one time.
After connecting to the RCP-120 web page, the browser will show the following: Figure 3-1: RCP-120 Configuration 18 Remote Control Panel User’s Guide ● Rev 00
RCP-120 Configuration Web Interface Status This section of the configuration web page shows the current status. Information includes the unit’s Serial Number and MAC Address. The current Network Configuration settings are shown next followed by the Current Script and Firmware Version. Figure 3-2: Configuration Status section Network Configuration This section allows a user to change the current DHCP Setting, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Hostname and Master Controller IP Address.
Subnet Mask: Default setting is: 255.255.255.0. Consult your network administrator if this needs to be changed for your network configuration. Gateway: Default setting is: 192.168.0.1. Consult your network administrator if this needs to be changed for your network configuration. Host Name: Default setting is: RCP-120. This host name will appear in the configuration menu on the FSN Controller for easy panel identification. This can be set at the users discretion to give a unique name to a panel.
Serial Port 1 Configuration / Baud Rate This section allows a user to change the Serial Port communication settings for the serial port on the rear panel of the RCP-120. This serial port is used to access the RCP-120 Boot Menu as a secondary method for configuring the panel. Under normal circumstances, it will not be necessary to use this method unless the Web interface can not be accessed.
Button Settings This section allows a user to change the behavior of the buttons on the RCP-120. Figure 3-6: Button Settings Seconds Before Default Setting is: 0 (No Timeout). Used to Display Timeout: change the number of seconds before the Display Backlight turns off. When used with the FSN Controller, this value should remain at 0 as backlight color is used to convey current status. Delay Between Default Setting is: 30 (0.3 Seconds).
RCP-120 Boot Menu Overview The RCP-120 Boot Menu is a secondary method to configure the panel. It is preferred that configuration of the panel take place with the Web interface. In the unlikely event the Web interface can not be accessed, basic configuration of the panel can be achieved in the Boot Menu. Connecting to the Boot Menu 1) Connect Serial Port 1 on the Rear Panel of the RCP-120 to a Computer. Use the supplied 4-pin male Phoenix connector to make the required serial cable.
RCP-120 Boot Menu Interface Display Current Settings Press 0 to display the current configuration settings for the panel. An example of the information returned is shown below: Serial Number is SN9707xxxxxx MAC address is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx DHCP is currently inactive Static IP address is currently 192.168.0.100 Subnet Mask is currently 255.255.255.0 Gateway address is currently 192.168.0.1 Hostname is currently RCP-120 Master Controller IP address is currently 192.168.0.

4. RCP-120 FSN Menu Orientation Assign Remote Panels The Assign Remote Panels Menu enables you to manage all RCP-120 panels connected to the FSN Controller and assign the functions a particular panel will perform. From the System Menu, press Other Setup and then press Assign Remote Panels. The figure below illustrates a sample menu.
Remote Control Panel Table The figure below illustrates the Remote Control Panel Table: Figure 4-2: Remote Control Panel Table On the palette, the Remote Control Panel Table lists the RCP-120 panels that were connected to the FSN network when the last “Discover” process was initiated. Please note: • The yellow highlight indicates the selected panel to which a function can be mapped. The highlight tracks the selection that is made with the “RCP Select” panel knob.
• IP Address – this is the current IP Address of the RCP-120. • Status – indicates the current connection/assignment status of the RCP-120. ~ RED – indicates the RCP-120 is NOT Connected. ~ YELLOW – indicates the RCP-120 is Connected but NOT Assigned ~ GREEN – indicates the RCP-120 is Connected and Assigned Assign Remote Panels Menu Functions The following functions are available in the Tool Bar: • Press Discover Remote Panels to search the FSN network for RCP-120 devices.
• Press Info to view the color legend for the Status column.
Duplicate IP Address Notification After a Discover Remote Panels function has been performed, it may be possible that two or more RCP-120 devices are discovered to have the same IP Address. If this occurs, the conflicting IP addresses will be highlighted RED in the table. The figure below illustrates how this would look: Figure 4-3: Duplicate IP Addresses In the example above, IP Address 192.168.0.37 is assigned to two panels.
5. Operations No Connection Behavior When power is first applied to the RCP-120 and a connection to the FSN Controller has not yet been established, the panel will look as illustrated below: Figure 5-1: RCP-120 Not Connected Button 1 will indicate NO COMM, while buttons 11 and 12 instruct the operator to PRESS AND HOLD TO SEE IP as a reminder of how to display the current IP Address of the RCP120.
AUX Output Control Understanding Button Mapping When the RCP-120 is connected and setup to control Aux Outputs on the FSN system, button mapping behavior is as follows: • Buttons 1 – 10 will follow the current Input Bus mapping on the FSN Controller. The display in each button shows the current source names which were assigned during input setup on the FSN (e.g., CAM1, VTR2, etc.). Within the programmable displays, the top row is the unshifted source; the bottom row is the shifted source.
Understanding Button Color The table in this section explains the use of color on the buttons in the RCP-120.
Working with the RCP-120 When using the RCP-120 to control Aux Outputs, the panel will go through different stages during setup as it becomes ready to use. The following illustrations show these stages during a typical configuration session. 1. Before power is applied. 2. After power is first applied and a connection has not yet been established or the connection between the RCP-120 and FSN Controller is lost. 3.
6. A connection between the RCP-120 and FSN Controller is established and the panel is assigned to an Aux Output; however the Aux Output is unavailable. This can happen if the NAC or UOC is physically removed from the system after being setup.
Setting up the RCP-120 to Control an Aux Output The following steps will illustrate how to get the RCP-120 configured to the point where it will control an Aux Output. Before the RCP-120 can be used to control an Aux Output, the following prerequisites must be completed: FSN System and Controller Setup 1. Refer to the FSN User’s Guide and follow the instructions concerning the general setup of the FSN system. 2. Follow the instructions outlined in the Aux Setup section in Chapter 6.
4. In the Select Aux Output Pop-up that appears, select the Aux Output that will be controlled by this RCP-120 and press the Assign button in the pop-up window. 5. While the Select Aux Output Pop-up is open, simply touch another row in the Remote Control Panel Table and then select an Aux Output before pressing the Assign button in the pop-up to make additional assignments. 6. After all assignments have been made, press the Close button to clear the pop-up. 7.
a. Troubleshoot the network setup/configuration concerning the RCP-120 in question and when resolved, press the Discover Remote Panels button to reconnect the panel to the FSN Controller. When the RCP-120 has connected to the Controller, the status will change from Red, to Yellow or Green, depending on the Aux assignment state. b.
Controlling an Aux Output defined as a Mixer The sample illustration below represents RCP-120 panels setup to control an Aux Output defined as a Mixer. It is recommended, though not required, that two RCP-120 panels are used to control Aux Outputs defined as a mixer. When two panels are use, define one panel to control the Preview side of the mixer and the other to control the Program side of the mixer (see Chapter 4 for information on how to Assign an Aux to the panel).
