Important:

The CP200 series control surfaces cannot be connected to the second Ethernet

port of your Mac Pro; they must be connected to your computer’s primary Ethernet port,
if necessary through a hub or switch if you need to share the port with an Internet
connection.

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 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 see the Control Surface Startup dialog. If
you’ve already opened Color and have turned off the option for making this dialog appear,
you 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 the IP
address.

5

For each CP200 device you own:

a

Select its checkbox.

b

Type its ID number into the corresponding field, then press Enter to continue.

c

Type an IP address into the corresponding field, then press Enter to continue.

Note: The first three period–delimited sets of numbers in the IP address must match
the first three sets of numbers that are used on your particular network. If you’re not
sure what values to use, you can check to see what IP address is used by your computer,
and base the CP200 IP address on that, making sure you change the last three numbers
so that the address is unique.

6

Click Yes.
