2.3.4. Setting up the OCP
When entering the <SETUP> the screen connects:
On this screen pops up a menu with options. The first one should always set network configuration
“Network”.
Network setting
Before any device can start working on a network must be configured so that it can participate in the
same. Most devices enabled for the network concede a method called DHCP auto-configuration that
consists in obtaining a good configuration of a server on the local network. CPR 002 is no exception and
if supports this method of configuration.
Also for networks that do not have a DHCP server or if you need a more advanced configuration, has
a manual configuration mode. This mode features a main block of configuration, in addition to four
additional network segments, which can be superimposed or not.

11
User Manual
Configuration using DHCP
1. Press [SETUP].
2. Select turning <9> the option “Network”.
3. Press <9>
4. In the window that appears, select ʘ[DHCP].
5. Press [OK].
• While the RCP002 resets the network and receives the DHCP Server Setup takes just a few seconds. If
you can’t reach the server, the delay may be longer and the RCP002 will have no IP address, but will
continue to request a until the server responds. When DHCP is enabled in the boot, the boot time may
be extended due to the lack of availability of a DHCP server; If this is the case, please contact your
network administrator or change the network configuration type ʘ[Static].
• When it is configured for DHCP, you cannot define additional network segments, for that would have
to manually set the RCP002..
• This mode is used to connect the RCP002 to a network with Internet access and be able to update the
application or the operating system (see the corresponding point)
Manual configuration
This is the normal configuration mode to communicate with multiple RCPs.
The RCP002 can set up to 5 different network segments. There is no problem if any of the segments
overlaps with another.
1. Press [SETUP].
2. Select turning <9> the option “Network”.
3. Press <9>
4. In the window that appears, select ʘ [STATIC].

User Manual
5. Enter the “Network segment 1”
6. Go back to calling the IP address (this is the IP of their own RCP002)
7. Enter the netmask. To save space on the screen, the netmask is introduced in form “a number”
instead of “number of points” (see explanation in section below). The numbers used are the 16
(equal to 255.255.0.0) and 24 (255.255.255.0).
8. Enter the gateway. Typically, the same value as the IP but with the final value 1
9. Enter the DNS server. In small networks, this makes the router. It is only possible to an option. If
there is more than one DNS on your network, you can enter the IP address of any of them, since
everyone must give the same answer to DNS queries.
10. If you need more local network segments, for example, for the RCPs in different segments of the
network, enable the necessary additional segments and enter the IP address of RCP002 and
corresponding network mask. See the following example.
11. Press [OK].
It takes a few seconds while RCP002 reconfigures the network. Please ask at your local network
administrator configuration settings before attempting to configure any network device in the dark, or
even can reach disturbing the local network instead of connecting to this.
• There are several changes to the assignment of the network, you may want to turn off (turn off power
supply) the RCP002 and connect again a few seconds later, to allow the system to correctly assign
the segments.
Example of manual configuration
We have a RCP002 that will connect with three mini RCPs with the following IP:
• Mini 1 with IP: 10.28.57.62
• Mini 2 with IP: 10.28.57.73
• Mini 3 with IP: 172.20.20.14
As we see, they’re in two totally different networks.
First we configure the “Network segment 1”. This is RCP002 ‘s own IP and can be any one who didn’t
come in and conflict with the existing IP. We can, for example, take an IP within the thread of one of
the minis, assigning the value:
IP address: 10.28.57.10/24
Gateway: 10.28.57.1 (same IP but with 1 in last place)
DNS: 10.28.57.200 (only matter if we connect through a router, and in this case we need to get to
your direction).
With this segment, configured could access to a RCP that has a direction any located between:
10.28.57.2 and 10.28.57.254
(exceptuando a 10.28.57.10 que é a que ocupa a própria RCP002)
Therefore, with these values, the RCP002 already could connect with the Mini 1 and the Mini 2.

13
User Manual
As Mini 3 is another different network, we configure other thread on RCP002 that can connect to it
simultaneously.
Select the “Network segment 2” 2 (we could do it in any of the other free threads) and set an IP that is
within the same scope as that of the Mini 3, e.g. to 10:
IP address: 172.20.20.10 / 24
Once accepted by pressing “OK” we could already access to a RCP that has any direction situated
between:
172.20.20.2 e 172.20.20.254
(except for 172.20.20.10 which is what occupies his own RCP002)
Lack indicate that the IP addresses of the boards alone, are also to be introduced, but this is done in
[SETUP], “RCP”, “RCP & iris connections” as indicated in detail in the previous point (2.3.4).
Network mask format
As indicated earlier, in RCP002 the network mask is represented as the number of ones in the shade,
not in the usual format of numbers and dots. If you’re used to this format, it may not be easy at first to
adapt to the amount of bits, but as soon as you understand you will not be able to live without it.
The values of the most common network mask is 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0 in General. The first
represents a network routing in space that fixate the first three bytes and the fourth byte and is different
on each node. The other, represented a network in which only the first two bytes are fixed and the third
and fourth are different for each node as a set, it means, may have more nodes in this direction because
it has 65,536 combinations (256 x 256) instead of just 256.
Internally to the TCP / IP stack the addressing space is represented as a bit mask that defines whether
a direction belongs to a targeting space or not. In binary, 255.255.255.0 is represented as 11111111.1
1111111.11111111.00000000, or simply the first 24 bits are 1 and the remainder are 0.
Similarly, 255.255.0.0 has the first 16 bits as 1 (11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000). All network
masks have a series of 1 at the beginning, the rest is all of 0, so we can represent them as the number
of 1s.
For the most common network mask values that were previously shown, the number of bits is 24 and
16 respectively.
Other numbers represent other sizes of address space and can be represented in the number of points
format, but the first time you come across a 255.255.224.0 network mask, for example you will feel
easier to memorize the number 19.
This format is easier to write, easier to say, and requires less screen space.

User Manual
RCP connection indicators
At the bottom of the screen a list of RCP numbers is displayed.
These numbers can be represented in four colors that indicate:
• Gray: number not assigned to any RCP.
• Red: number assigned to a RCP with which there is no communication at all.
• Yellow: number assigned to a RCP withwhichthereispartialcommunication(egthereiscommunication
with the RCP but not with the lens).
• Black: number assigned to a RCP with which there is complete communication.
NOTE: It may be the case that after the initial communication has been established, it is
interrupted for some reason. Depending on the RCP model the RCP002 may or may not
detect the loss of communication. This is especially significant in the case of the X5A,
since this RCP does not respond directly and - with the current firmware version - the
number continues to indicate that it is present (black color) when it is not. Therefore, if
you are acting on the RCP and there is no response thereto, even though it is indicating
communication, it is recommended to switch the RCP002 off and on or change the RCP
number assignment to start a connection cycle from Zero, and in which case it will mark
in red the absence of communication.
2.3.7. Calibration of analogue controls
The iris, pedestal and mini joytick controls arranged in the RCP are of the analog type, that is, they
handle the assigned values continuously, unlike the digital controls, which respond in steps. This
continuous responsiveness comes at a cost: analog controls are subject to noise, wear, and assembly
accuracy. To compensate for their errors, analogue controls must be periodically calibrated (even if they
are not required frequently) or when they are inaccurate.
