Installation Overview
Follow these steps to set up and install the RCP 2000 with
ISS 506 support:
1
Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the ISS 506
and all attached devices are turned off and, if applicable,
disconnected from the power source.
2
Set the RCP 2000 on a table, podium, or other at surface.
3
Connect the RS-232 cable provided with the RCP 2000 to
the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the ISS and to the To
Switcher port on the rear panel of the RCP 2000; or attach
a network cable to the ISS and RCP 2000 Ethernet ports.
4
Attach power cords to the ISS 506 switcher, the input
devices, and the output devices, and plug them into
grounded AC power sources.
5
Attach the power cord to the RCP 2000 and plug it into a
grounded AC power source.
6
Check the default cycle screens in the LCD window. If a
screen with the words “ISS 506 Linked” does not appear in
the rotation, do the following:
• Ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving
power.
• Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed.
• Check the communication settings of the RCP and ISS.
7
If using a network connection, set up communication
with the ISS 506 switcher via IP. See “Setting Up IP
Communications,” in chapter 3, “Operation.”

AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord from a
100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source into this connector.
b
To Switcher port — This 9-pin female D connector provides for
two-way RS-232 serial communications with the ISS switcher. If
using a serial connection, connect an RS-232 cable from this port
to the switcher’s RS-232 port.
c
RS-232 port — This 9-pin female D connector provides for two-
way RS-232 serial communication with the computer to control
the RCP 2000.
d
RJ-45 connector — If using an Ethernet connection, connect the
RCP 2000 to an ISS 506, directly with a crossover cable or over a
LAN with a patch, using this female RJ-45 connector.
e
Reset button — Use an Extron Tweeker or other small
screwdriver to press this recessed button to reset the RCP 2000
unit. See “Resetting the Unit” in chapter 3, “Operation,” for
additional information.
Making an RCP Communication Cable
Communication between the RCP 2000 and the ISS 506 is via
RS-232 or Ethernet. You are provided with a 12' RS-232 cable. If
you need a communication cable of a different length, use the
following guidelines to make your own cable.
RS-232 link
Both ends of the RS-232 cable must be terminated with a
9-pin male D connector. See the table below for RS-232 pin
assignments.
