1. OVERVIEW
The basic function of the 7700S2IP-RCL is to provide an interface between a QMC-2 and a RCL-based
router system. In essence, the 7700S2IP-RCL makes the RCL router system (maximum supported
size is 1024 sources by 1024 destinations) appear as a Quartz router (maximum size 240 sources by
16 destinations) to the QMC-2. The 7700S2IP-RCL can communicate with up to two controllers (a
primary and a secondary). Each controller may have either 1 or 2 system controller cards installed.
Thus, the 7700S2IP-RCL can communicate simultaneously with up to 4 system controller cards.

2. CARD EDGE CONTROLS
2.1. DETERMINING CURRENT IP ADDRESS SETTINGS
To read the current IP address during normal operation, press the front switch DOWN. The IP address
can be read on the four-character alphanumeric display.
2.2. RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS
To restore all settings to factory defaults, apply power to the card while holding the toggle switch UP
until the green LED is illuminated.
2.3. CARD EDGE LEDS
LED 22 is illuminated when Ethernet activity is detected.
All other card edge LEDs are for factory use only.

3. CONFIGURATION
3.1. EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION
The setup of Figure 3-1 will be used to demonstrate how to configure the 7700S2IP-RCL.
Figure 3-1: Example Setup
Figure 3-1 contains the following elements:
•A primary RCL router controller with a system controller installed in slot 1. The system
controller has IP address 192.168.18.39. It controls the primary RCL router. The primary RCL
router has destination names Out1P, Out3P, Out5P, Out7P, and Out9P and source names
In1P, In3P, In5P, In7P, In9P, In11P, In13P, In15P within area name area.

•A secondary RCL router controller with a system controller installed in slot 1. The system
controller has IP address 192.168.18.40. It controls the secondary RCL router. The secondary
RCL router has destination names Out1S, Out3S, Out5S, Out7S, and Out9S and source names
In1S, In3S, In5S, In7S, In9S, In11S, In13S, In15S within area name lala.
•RCL router destinations Out1, Out3, Out5, Out7, and Out9 are connected to QMC master
control switcher inputs Program, Preset, Keyer 1 Fill, Keyer 1 Key, DVE Background
respectively.
•An NTP server with IP address 192.168.18.37. The time provided by the NTP server is used by
the 7700S2IP-RCL when adding entries to its event log.
•VistaLINK PRO with IP address 192.168.18.38. VLPro will be used to configure the 7700S2IP-
RCL. VLPro will receive SNMP traps from the 7700S2IP-RCL.
•7700S2IP-RCL with IP address 192.168.18.54.
The 7700S2IP-RCL communicates:
•with VLPro using SNMP
•with the RCL system controllers via the RCL protocol over a TCP link
•with the QMC master control switcher using the Quartz Remote Control Protocol over a serial
link
Conceptually, this is equivalent to:

3.2. STEP 1: CONNECT 7700S2IP-RCL TO THE QMC MASTER CONTROL SWITCHER
1. Ensure there is no power applied to the 7700S2IP-RCL.
2. If using RS-422, connect the pins of the 7700S2IP-RCL to those of a serial port of the QMC
master control switcher according to Figure 3-3 and Table 3-1.
3. If using RS-232, connect the pins of the 7700S2IP-RCL to those of a serial port of the QMC
master control switcher according to Figure 3-4 and Table 3-2.
4. Apply power to the 7700S2IP-RCL.
