RNP change terminal to enroute?

Hi all

Just did a sim check with the local cops, all OK but a question that's got me intrigued and can't find reference; aircraft B737-800

We have RNP 1 (terminal), RNP 5 (Enroute although our equipment defaults to RNP 2.)

At what point (altitude, speed, "preset factor", whatever) does the FMC automatically flop over from terminal to enroute RNP, equally when does the FMC RNP automatically flop from enroute to terminal at the other end??
I took a stab at "maybe transition" but no real answer.

Any references would be appreciated


Cheers
