RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation 2 Setting up of the RCP-BR panel Before using the RCP-BR panel to control a system, two things will need to be setup, these are: 1. The networking configuration. 2. The station configuration which defines which devices the panel will control and the configuration of these devices into channels. These will be explained in this section. 2.1 Connecting up the panel Please refer to Figure 2-1 for a picture of the rear of the RCP-BR panel.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation 2.2 Network configuration The RCP-BR panel comes pre-configured to use DHCP to automatically configure its networking. If a different network configuration is required for the unit then the panel’s Control Window provides the facilities for changing the settings. Once the unit has started up and the Channel Selector dialogue is displayed, the System menu can be accessed.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation This will display the dialogue as shown in Error! Reference source not found.. On the touchscreen press the Network button. Figure 2-3 Control window dialogue This will display the network settings as shown in Figure 2-4. Figure 2-4 Network settings You can now use the touchscreen to switch between DHCP and Static options.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation 2.3 Station configuration Before starting to use the RCP-BR panel the station configuration for the unit must be setup. The station configuration defines the devices which the panel should control.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation Please note that increasing the number of channels and devices can slow down RCP-BR operation. The number of devices is limited to 30 and Miranda recommends a maximum of 20 channels. Please contact support@miranda.com if you need to create more devices. To ensure correct operation of the RCP-BR (software version 4.7), appropriate software versions need to be installed on all controlled devices.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation 2.3.1 Setting up the station configuration The station configuration is set up from the RCP-BR’s web interface. Open your preferred web browser and type in the IP address or the hostname of the RCP-BR into the location bar. This will display the login page for the RCP-BR panel as shown in Figure 2-5. Figure 2-5 Web interface log-in page To login, type in the password ‘miranda’. This will open the home page as shown in Figure 2-6. Miranda Technologies Inc.

This will close the page and return to the main station setup page. You will now see the new device appear in the device area of the page. Figure 2-9 Configuration for a new device Miranda Technologies Inc.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation Having defined all the devices that are to be controlled by the RCP-BR panel it is then necessary to setup the channels. Devices can then be assigned to appropriate channels. Firstly a new channel should be created by clicking on the ‘Add channel’ option in the channel toolbar as shown in Figure 2-10. The options on the toolbar are Save, Add channel and Delete channel. Save, Add channel Delete channel.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation By default, a new channel is created with one “Imagestore” column and one “Intuition” column (columns IS1 and INT1 respectively). Devices from the device area of the page can then be assigned to the new channel: • Select the device from the list • Click on a blank cell in the IS1 or the INT1 column as appropriate. • You should see a plus button ( + ) appear as shown in Figure 2-11. • Click on the button to assign the device to the channel.
RCP-BR: Guide to Installation and Operation A typical configuration is shown in Figure 2-13. Under the ‘Group’ column you can optionally define a group for a channel. If all channels are left as Default then they will all be shown in one view on the channel selector. This works well if there are only a few channels, but if you want to show the channels in groups then entering a Group name will separate the channels in the channel selector into their appropriate groups.
