Rane ECS RaneWare - Manual (Page 3)

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.)
