RW Manual-3

Memory & Security

ECS can be operated on a daily basis through a computer

if a system controller is not installed. To preserve memory

security with a computer operator, the software can be locked

(under Device), and a system password can be assigned

(under System > Change Password). The default password

is “please”.

Memories can be customized with names, through System

> Site Control Panel Setup.

This Site Control Panel is all an operator needs to recall

memories. If only a few presets are required, blanking an

entry in the Site Control Panel Setup removes the screen

button. A password is not required to use this screen.

Memory names are stored in the computer, along with

other installation-specific information. Select System > Save

Job File to support multiple installations.

Returning to Device Edit from the Site Control panel

requires a password. In Windows 3.1, closing the button box

in the title bar gets the Password window. In Windows 95,

right-click on the title bar to Select Device Edit (password

required), or Exit the program.

If more than 16 Memories are needed, they can be saved

to disk and recalled later.

Memory Selection Toolbar

Memory Operation

All of Rane’s RW 232 products have 16 programmable

Memories with one working Memory called Memory 0. The

16 Memories are stored within the units non-volatile Memory,

and recalled by:

• Selecting a Memory using RaneWare, or

• Sending a Program Channel From Memory command, or

• Sending a Program All Channels of all Devices From

Memory command from the Room Controller. (See the ECS

Device Control Language on page RW Manual-22.) Recalling

a Memory replaces the working Memory with the selected

Memory. The selected Memory is then displayed next to the

Store button. All control changes are made to working

Memory, not to the selected Memory. The selected Memory

flashes whenever working Memory does not match it. To save

these settings in one of the 16 Memories, simply click Store,

and the Memory number key. After Storing, clicking any

Memory number instantly recalls it.

Saving & Printing

From the Device menu, Memories can be saved and

retrieved to and from a file. Names and settings may be stored

separately.

A printout report of device data, mic, port and system

settings per Memory is available under Device > Print

Device Report.

Device Selection

After Polling, the Device Selection window displays any

connected RW 232 units, as well as Offline versions of all

Rane RW 232 products.

The quickest way to get to the RW 232 Device Edit

screen, if not already displayed, is to click the Device button

on the far right side of the toolbar. When pressed, a list of the

first fifteen connected devices appears. Click one of the

devices—either an offline device or an actual device—and the

selected device’s edit screen appears. The selected device

name is displayed at the top within the title bar.

Alternatively, after Polling, the same device list appears in

the Device Selection window. Select the connected or Offline

device from the list and click OK. The connected unit’s

Device Address is displayed within brackets [ ] to the left of

the device name. Double-clicking on the device name is

equivalent to selecting the device and clicking OK.

If the installation changes by adding more RW 232 units,

choose Device > Select, and the Poll button to make the

computer recognize currently connected units.

(ECS Devices can also be given custom names, tailored to

your installation. Simply choose Device > Name Device, and

the following screen appears.)
