CHAPTER 7: MX RMS MODULE
46
CAUTION: Do not mistakenly install the Mute
Jumper on the white, unlabeled two-pin con-
nector on the MX RMS module. This connector is for
the VEAM connector option; using it for any other
purpose will damage the module.
3. Reinstall the MX RMS module in the loudspeaker.
MX RMS USER PANEL
The MX RMS user panel includes an Identify button, Wink/
Activity LED, Remote Mute switch, and two Network con-
nectors.
NOTE: The button and LED on the MX RMS
user panel are used exclusively by Compass
RMS and have no effect on the acoustical or electri-
cal activity of the loudspeaker.
Identify Button
The Identify button serves the following functions:
■ If the loudspeaker has not yet been discovered (Wink/
Activity LED not lit), press the Identify button to identify
the loudspeaker in the Compass RMS system and dis-
cover it.
■ To undiscover the loudspeaker and remove it from the
RMServer inventory, press and hold the Identify button
during startup (see “Resetting the MX RMS Module” on
page 46).
■ To wink a discovered loudspeaker, press the Identify but-
ton. The Wink LED on the loudspeaker icon in Compass
lights up and the Wink/Activity LED on the loudspeaker’s
RMS user panel turns solid green. Press the Identify but-
ton again to unwink the loudspeaker.
TIP: The Wink function is useful for identifying
the physical loudspeaker corresponding to a
loudspeaker icon in Compass.
Wink/Activity LED (Green)
The green Wink/Activity LED indicates the status of the
loudspeaker:
■ During startup, the LED blinks 10 times.
■ If the loudspeaker has not yet been discovered, the LED
is not lit after startup.
■ If the loudspeaker has been successfully discovered, the
LED flashes continuously and flashes more rapidly with
increased data activity.
■ When the loudspeaker is winked, either by clicking the
Wink button in Compass or by pressing the Identify but-
ton on the RMS user panel, the LED is solid green.
TIP: The Wink function is useful for identifying
the physical loudspeaker corresponding to a
loudspeaker icon in Compass.
RMS Network Connectors
The two Weidmuller connectors transfer data to and from
the RMS network. Two connectors are provided to allow for
easy connection of multiple (daisy-chained) loudspeakers
on the network. Included with each RMS-equipped loud-
speaker are RMS cable connectors and mounting blocks for
constructing RMS cables. The RMS blocks allow the cables
to be securely attached to the RMS module with screws.
NEURON ID FOR MX RMS MODULES
Each MX RMS module has a unique 12-character Neuron ID
(NID) that identifies the loudspeaker on the network. The
NID should be discovered automatically by the RMServer to
which it is connected, but can be entered manually, if neces-
sary. The NID for the MX RMS module is located on the user
panel below the orange RMS Network connectors (see
Figure 1 on page 46).
RESETTING THE MX RMS MODULE
You can use the Identify button to reset the MX RMS module
when powering up the loudspeaker. This will cause the mod-
ule to be reset, and the loudspeaker to be undiscovered and
removed from the RMServer inventory.
To reset the MX RMS module:
1. Disconnect the loudspeaker’s power cord.
2. Press and hold the Identify button.
3. While continuing to hold down the Identify button, recon-
nect the power cord.
