Configuring the CP200 Series Control Surfaces
The following procedures describe how to configure and use these control surfaces
with Color.
To set up the CP200 series controllers for use with Color:
1
Connect each of the CP200 devices to the router, hub, or switch that’s connected to
your computer.
2
Before you open Color, turn on each of the CP200 devices you have, and write down
the two to three character ID numbers that appear on the display of each.
You’ll use each device’s ID number to set up Color to communicate with these devices.
Note: The ID numbers that Color uses to connect to the CP200 control surfaces are not
the Serial Numbers that appear on the back or bottom of your CP200 panels.
3
Open Color.
If you’re opening Color for the first time, you’ll be presented with the Control Surface
Startup dialog. If you’ve already opened Color and have disabled the option for making
this dialog appear, you’ll need to click the Show Control Surface Dialog button in the
User Prefs tab of the Setup room.
4
Choose “Tangent Devices - CP200” from the Control Surface pop-up menu.
Each CP200 device that Color is compatible with appears with an Enabled checkbox
with two fields: one for the ID number that you wrote down previously, and one for IP
address.
5
For each CP200 device you own:
a
Select its checkbox.
b
Type its ID number into the corresponding field, and press Enter to continue.
c
Type an IP address into the corresponding field, and press Enter to continue.
