TPS-12/15/17

The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at a QM transmitter and

terminating at the TPS-12/15/17 must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters). Video

signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of cable. This

phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of longer cable lengths,

and is not particular to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia systems. To ensure

sufficient bandwidth, the maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 328

feet. The use of lower-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must

be tested by the installer with the sources to be used. The QM pin assignment is

based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.

When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point

(transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints

(e.g., QM-MD7x2 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when

configuring a QM network.

QM Network Topology

Identity Code

All equipment and user interfaces within the network require a unique identity code

(Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers ranging from 03 to FE

(Net ID 02 is reserved for control processors). The Net ID of each unit must match

an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program. The Net ID is set using the

internal setup menu (refer to “Interface Menu” on page 18). The Net ID may also be

changed using Crestron Toolbox (refer to “Establishing Communications” on page

43).

Configuring the Touchpanel

NOTE: The only connection required to configure the touchpanel is power (supplied

via Cresnet). Refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 24 for details.

To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to

viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation.

The MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to

the touchscreen as power is applied, or after the hardware reset button is pressed and

released. Remove your finger when the message "SETUP MODE" briefly appears on

the touchscreen.

Upon entering SETUP MODE, the MAIN MENU, as shown in the following

illustration, displays four buttons: Touch Screen Calibration, Exit and Run

Program, Setup, and Diagnostics.

The Exit and Run Program button verifies that all of the setup information has

been saved to the EEPROM and displays the main page that has been programmed
