frequency band as the wireless LAN. Using RM-100RC near the above devices may
cause radio wave interference. As the result, communication may be lost, the
speed may slow down, or the operation of the above devices may be adversely
affected. Before using RM-100RC, make sure that no radio wave interference
occurs. For example, if there is a microwave oven near RM-100RC, check the
proper communication beforehand while actually using the microwave oven.
Do not use RM-100RC near a cellular phone, TV or Radio A cellular phone, TV
and radio use a different radio band than our products. Generally, if they are
used near RM-100RC, it will not cause any problems. However, when they
approximate RM-100RC, sound or image noise may occur.

RM-100RC User’s Manual 1. Introduction
1-3-2. Notes on Security
Because a wireless LAN uses electromagnetic signals instead of a LAN cable to
establish communication with network devices, it has the advantage of allowing
devices to connect to the network easily. However, a disadvantage of this is
that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through
barriers such as walls, and if security countermeasures are not implemented in
some way, problems such as the following may occur. – Communication is
intercepted by a third party – Unauthorized access to the network – Leakage of
personal information (ID and Card information) – Spoofing and the
falsification of intercepted data – System crashes and data corruption
Nowadays, wireless LAN cards or access points are equipped with security
measures that address such security problems, so that you can enable security-
related settings for wireless LAN products in order to reduce the likelihood
of problems occurring. We recommend that you make yourself fully acquainted
with the possible implications of what might happen if you use a wireless
product without enabling security features, and that you configure security-
related settings and use wireless products at your own responsibility.

2-2. Features
RM-100RC has the following features:
Videos of camera can be checked remotely Up to 4 RTP cameras can be connected
and videos of the cameras can be recorded at all times. Since videos of the
cameras can remotely be checked and the recorded files can be checked without
going to the actual site, the users can avoid missing the cause of trouble
when a trouble occurs, and can perform the event recording efficiently. Also,
recording can be started by using the digital input as a trigger, allowing the
users to check the video before and after the trouble.
– Camera is not contained in the product package. It need to be purchased
separately.
TIP
Video is saved as a recorded file A video of each camera can be saved in RM-
100RC as a recorded file. It is also possible to create a recorded file that
combines videos from four cameras into one video. The created recorded file
can be obtained remotely.
Large capacity storage Up to 200GB recorded files can be saved to RM-100RC.
When the screen format is Multi and the bit rate is 2Mbps, videos of
approximately 7 days can be saved.
Access Point function RM-100RC has an Access Point function compatible with
Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax). Up to 32 wireless station devices can be connected.
Giving unlimited locations for your non-wireless devices As you do not have to
care wiring conditions in order to establish your environment, choices of
location greatly expand in any kinds of scenes such as office, factory,
warehouse, etc. where frequent and efficient layout change is required.
Wall-mountable RM-100RC can be mounted on a wall using Bracket Type XI
(optionally available) or a DIN rail mounting plate (commercially-available).

2-7. DFS Function
RM-100RC supports DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) of the IEEE 802.11h
wireless standard. When radar waves are detected, the channel will
automatically be switched to avoid interference with radar systems (e.g.
weather radar, etc.).
If an available channel, instead of AUTO, is selected for Channel, the channel
will be switched to the channel that is checked in the available channel list.
When there are channels that you want to avoid to use, set them in the
available channel list in advance. In the following cases, the destination
channel will be selected by RM-100RC.
– The destination channel cannot be used as radar waves are detected on it. –
AUTO is set for Channel
– When RM-100RC is powered on, it will check for a certain period of time (*) whether there are
TIP
radar waves on the channel to use. During that time, it is unable to communicate with RM100RC using the 5GHz band.
– If radar waves are detected during or after RM-100RC is powered on, the channel needs to be
changed in order to avoid wireless interference. Therefore, if DFS channels are selected, the
channel may be changed.
– If radar waves are detected, it will be monitored even on the destination channel for a certain
period of time (*). During the time, 5GHz band communication will be disabled on RM-100RC.
Once radar waves are detected, the channel will not be available for 30 mins.
(* This time period differs depending on the country.)
– The WLAN1 LED flashes red if radar waves are detected when RM-100RC is
powered on or is in operation.
Note
If there are no candidates for the destination channel when radar waves are detected, communication using 5GHz band will be disabled for 30 min. When an available channel is found in 30 min, the channel is switched to that channel.

Storage Size Limits
For the total size of recorded files that can be saved in the internal storage
of RM100RC, there is an upper limit on each recording type. By default, Auto
Delete is set to ON, and the files will automatically be deleted in the
ascending order of recording number, before the storage runs out of space. For
example, if there is no free space for continuous recording, the recorded file
with a smallest recording number will be deleted. The maximum storage size is
as follows.
Recording type
Upper limit of recorded files that can be saved
Event Recording 10 to 30% of the available space (200GB) in internal storage (the minimum unit is 5% and this setting can be changed from the Web page)
Continuous Recording
90 to 70% of the available space (200GB) in internal storage (the minimum unit is 5% and this setting can be changed from the Web page)
After changing the storage size, if the total size of the current recorded files becomes larger than the upper limit, the files will be deleted in the ascending order of recording number until the storage size fits in the upper limit, when RM-100RC is restarted.
– If the automatic deletion setting is set to OFF and the storage limit is set lower than the total
size of the recorded files that have already been saved, the recorded files will be deleted, but
TIP
recording will not perform.
Note
– For details on the recording number of the file name, see 4-3. Obtaining a
Recorded Video. – If you change the storage size limit for either continuous
recording or event recording, the
percentage of the other one will automatically be changed so that the total
becomes 100%.

Recording Conditions
RM-100RC monitors the input signals of the digital input interface at regular
intervals. Event recording is triggered when the input signal meets the
condition (1) below.
(1) When the input signal is monitored at 20ms interval, and the Low level
signal continues 5 times in a row (80ms) after the signal changes from High
level to Low level, a trigger is generated.
(2) After that, if a High level signal continues 5 times in a row (80ms) at
20ms interval, the status will return to (1) and the check will restart.
When a trigger occurs, a recorded file is created using a video that is
captured from the camera. The file is created by combining videos of the
length between Before-Trigger Period (sec) and After-Trigger Period (sec).

Change of Frame When a Trigger Occurs
For videos to be distributed and saved with RM-100RC, a black frame will be
added to them regardless of the settings. When a trigger occurs, the color of
the frame changes from black, indicating that event recording has started. The
following explains how the frame changes when a trigger occurs.
– The frame color change is just a rough indication of the trigger occurrence. The color of the
TIP
frame may not immediately change when the trigger occurs.
Changes of Frame Following is an example when using a video of the camera 1 whose Digital Input Trigger is All Cameras and Screen Format is Single. In this case, when a trigger occurs on DIN1, the frame color of the camera 1 changes to red. After 5 seconds, the frame color will return to black.

Note
– For the recorded order of the file, the sequence number is given as a file name according to the following rules. – The number is counted up sequentially starting from “000000001”, and the next one after “999999999” is “000000000”. After that, the number will be counted up again from “000000001”, “000000002”, and so on. – The recorded order of continuous recording and event recording is counted up separately. For example, even if the number of the latest file created with the continuous recording function is “000000005”, the number of the first file created with the event recording function will be “000000001”. – The number is not counted up when a video is not acquired from all cameras, even if it is the time to create a recorded file. – When a video of the camera is correctly acquired, the number will be counted up when the recorded file is created. The number count will be disregarded during the period when recorded files are not created since there are no videos from the camera.

channels for DFS. The screen below is an example to use only 100ch, 104ch, and
108ch outdoors.
When the Channel is set to AUTO, an appropriate channel will be selected when
RM-100RC is turned on, but if the channels are unchecked in the Available
Channel List, they will be excluded from the selection, so that the users can
avoid the channels that are used for other purposes. The screen below is an
example to use only the first and last channels of W52, W53, and W56.
– When the wireless mode is 802.11ax/g or 802.11n/b/g, only 1ch, 6ch, and 11ch
can be changed.

6-3. Network Expansion Using Multiple RM-100RC Units
6-3-1. About AMC Mesh
When there are two or more RM-100RC units, you can make them communicate with
each other. By connecting several AMC Mesh compatible Access Points
(hereinafter referred to as “AMC Mesh devices”), wireless distance can be
expanded to locations where it is difficult to establish the backbone network.
RM-100RC can connect the AMC Mesh devices using 5GHz or 2.4GHz bands. AMC Mesh
is composed of one RootAP (running as a host device) and plural Repeater APs
(running as station devices).
– Please check that all RM-100RC units are running on the same version of firmware.
TIP
– To connect the AMC Mesh network, RM-100RC must have the same Mesh group name as that network.

The following describes what to prepare before establishing an AMC Mesh
network using multiple RM-100RC units. Prepare the followings to proceed the
configuration and installation easily.
Preparing Floor Plan Image
Please prepare the floor plan image of the floor where RM-100RC units are to
be installed, which meets the following conditions.
– The scale is clearly indicated, or approximate distance / area can be
confirmed. – The spot of connection to the backbone network is specifically
located. – The location of outlet can be identified.
Note
– If you can create an image file of the floor plan using a scanner or camera, you can open it on Windows and use it as the background image. By using the floor plan image on Mesh Monitor, accurate management of each unit location is possible. For how to use the floor plan image as the background image on Mesh Monitor, refer to Mesh Monitor User’s Manual (AMC Mesh).

Determination of Unit Locations
First of all, allocate the RM-100RC unit that connects to the backbone
network, and then allocate other units by keeping 20m interval starting from
the first unit. Make sure that each unit is allocated within a distance of 20m
from the other one so that radio signals can reach.
