Purpose of the RTP Technician Configuration Manual

The RTP Tech Configuration interface is designed help the certified technician accomplish an “onsite” RTM
installation. Most RTP units are pre-setup using the USL RTM online system; however, some locations do not know
the IP configuration information until after the equipment is required at the location. Therefore USL provides
technician access to all the RTP settings via laptop wireless connection directly to the RTP unit. The interface is a
web application. This is served to the technicians PC using a browser such as Fire Fox, Internet Explorer, and
Safari. The Technician Tool will run on other non-PC platforms like iOS on iPad devices.

This manual will take you through the steps to properly set up your RTP by providing more information and
settings for an entire theatre system.

Note: The RTP units are fully configurable via the handhelds, but we recommend using this utility for the initial
setup if NOT pre-configured.

To access the RTP Technician Configuration webpage, the laptop PC or iPad must be connected to the RTP via the
secured Wi-Fi interface. The user must first connect and power the RTP, using the RTH to obtain Wi-Fi interface
settings, and then configure the laptop or iPad.

2. Connect the other end to the cinema “Control” network.

3. Plug in the RTP or use the provided power cable.

if you cannot connect the RTP after 15 minutes, unplug and re-plug in the unit.
