Connect to the Network and Power
1. If you are using an Ethernet connection for the Multi
Channel Amplifier, use a standard 10/100 Base T
Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the
amplifier to your network.
NOTE: While the Multi Channel Amplifier can be
controlled via either Zigbee or Ethernet networks,
Control4 recommends that you use an Ethernet
connection whenever possible as this will allow firmware
upgrades to be performed on the product. The firmware
on the amplifier cannot be upgraded over the Zigbee
network.
2. Connect the power cord provided to the back of the
Multi Channel Amplifier and to the power outlet. Once
the power cord is connected, the Multi Channel
Amplifier should power up.
Set Up Logical Connections
Physical and logical connections are required in order to
control, navigate, and use the Multi Channel Amplifier as
designed.
Thus far you have set up the physical connections for the
Control4 Multi Channel Amplifier. To complete the logical
setup, use Control4 Composer Pro software (available to
trained installers only) installed on a PC connected to the
home network. For instructions, refer to the Control4
Composer Pro User Guide.
