Navigation Menu:
To access the RK-350 menu, press the EXIT/MENU button
in the control section. To highlight items in the menu which
will appear on the VFD screen, turn the scroll knob left or
right to the desired menu item. When you have reached

Pressing the ENTER button when a selection has been made
sets the value to that selection in the RK-350 memory.

Once you have connected your RK-350 to your switcher,
configure the connection settings on both devices.
For a serial connection, select RS232 from the RS232/LAN
menu on both devices. (In CONTROL menu)
For a LAN connection, select LAN from the RS232/LAN menu
on both devices (In CONTROL menu), and configure each
device with a unique IP in the LAN setup > RK-350 address
menu. The default IP on the RK-350 is 192.168.2.141.
Next, enter the IP of the device you wish to control in the
