INSTALLING YOUR CP451-008
6
Step 1. The CP451-008 only requires power to be
operational. If using the docking cradle, 
determine the best location for installation. 
The docking cradle should be centrally 
located to the CP451-008’s operational 
area so users will remember to return the 
unit to the cradle for charging. One power 
adapter is shipped with the CP451-008. 
This power adapter can power either the 
cradle or the CP451-008. 
Additional
power adapters can be
purchased if the CP451-008 is continually 
used for long periods away from the 
docking cradle. In this case, a second 
power adapter can be used at remote 
locations while not disturbing the docking 
station setup.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
•
If the CP451-008 connects to the 
network through the docking cradle, 
LAN access and a network cable are
required.
•
Make sure there is access to the USB 
ports. One USB port is accessible 
from the side of the CP451-008 and 
there are 2 USB ports accessible from 
the back of the docking cradle.
Step 2. Route all cables required for the
CP451-008 to the installation location. 
Make sure the cables are long enough to 
allow for service loops and to be routed 
neatly to their destinations.
Step 3. Press the power switch on the side of the
unit to turn power on. The unit will start 
Windows and then automatically launch 
the AVSnap demo application.
CONTROL SOFTWARE SET UP
Step 1. Prepare the control software using your
normal software development station. The 
CP451-008
is not required. We
recommend using AVSnap as the control 
software. It is free, easy to use, and has 
many features designed for use with the 
CP451-008.
Step 2. Debug the control software using the
device for which it was written. The 
CP451-008 is a normal computer and its 
LAN/WLAN ports work the same as a 
desktop computer.
Step 3. When the control software is complete,
copy all necessary files to a USB drive.
Step 4. Start the CP451-008 and then escape out
of the AVSnap demo application and 
return to the desktop.
Step 5. Install the USB drive into the CP451-008
and copy the files over to the “C” drive. If 
any application software is required, 
install it at this time. Once all the software 
has been installed, close all open 
applications and run the COMMIT batch 
file located on the desktop. This will 
commit the changes made to the internal 
drive.
NOTE:
If an installation wizard requests a restart 
to complete the installation, answer NO. 
The COMMIT batch file must be run first.
Step 6. Restart the CP451-008 and verify all the
changes are present. Place a shortcut to 
the new control software into the startup 
folder and remove the AVSnap demo. 
Run the COMMIT batch file again and 
restart the CP451-008.
Step 7. The unit is now operational. Verify the
CP451-008 boots up and automatically 
launches the new control software.
