Front Panel 20 userconfigurable buttons (default shown) Start Up Backlit indicators USB port Soft power switch • The soft power switch activates the RPU (check rear panel to ensure power is connected and hard power switch is on). • Backlit indicators identify the operating status (master, backup, client, and so on) of the unit. • USB port is provided for easy show loading to or from a USB storage device. • 20 buttons are configurable from the Eos Configuration Utility (ECU). They are set to a default configuration. The label strips for these buttons are removable and reversible. Any changes to the button configuration can be written on the opposite side in pencil. After connecting power to the unit, press the soft power button on the front of the console. By default, the RPU will boot into the Ion environment as a primary. If you wish to designate your RPU as something other than a primary, you must exit the Ion environment and choose a different designation from the Eos Configuration Utility welcome screen. For more information on multi-console terms such as primary or backup, please see Multi-console and Synchronized Backup, page 307. 316 Ion Operations Manual
Software Configuration Settings for the RPU can be altered in the Eos Configuration Utility (ECU). The 20 buttons on the front panel of the RPU are configurable from the {RPU} section of the ECU. To configure the RPU buttons: Step 1: In the Ion browser, select File>Exit Ion and confirm the selection. Eos will close and you will enter the Ion welcome screen. Step 2: Click on the {Settings} button. This will open the ECU. Step 3: On the right side of the screen, click on the “RPU” button to enter the RPU button setup. A virtual display of the RPU buttons is displayed with the current button settings labeled on each button. Step 4: Click on a button you wish to alter. A button window will open. Step 5: Click on the type of button you want it to be (Macro or Hard Key). • If Macro - Click on the Macro # box and enter the desired macro number from the keyboard and press enter. Then click {Accept}. • If Hardkey - Click on the {Hardkey} drop down menu and select the hard key you wish to use. Then click {Accept}. Step 6: Repeat this process for any other buttons you wish to reconfigure. Step 7: To restore the default buttons at any time, click the {Restore Defaults} button. To import a button configuration: You may import an RPU button configuration file from a USB device. Step 1: Click the {Import} button in the RPU section of the ECU. The RPU will search for valid RPU button file. Step 2: If a valid file is found, the ECU will ask you if you want to import the settings. Click {Yes}. The settings will be imported. Step 3: Click {Ok}. To export a button configuration: You may export your RPU button configuration to a USB device. Step 1: Click the {Export} button in the RPU section of the ECU. Step 2: If a USB drive is available, the ECU will ask you to choose the desired drive from the drop down menu. Click on the desired USB drive. Step 3: Click {Accept}. The button configuration will be saved to the USB drive. Step 4: Click {Ok}. For more information on settings in the ECU, please see Eos Configuration Utility (Eos Shell), page 293.
