About Control Pages
This section contains the background information you need to work effectively with HALSystem Control Pages.
In addition to reviewing these conceptual details and best practices, we highly recommend that you review in Hal-

web server for web controls that provides a connection for browser-based control devices, such as tablets,
smart phones, laptops, and desktop computers. You can also use control pages in DR6 devices that you've
included in your system.
To use control pages, you first create the pages in Halogen using the Control Page Designer, assign them to
the Web and/or to DR6 devices, test them from within Halogen on your PC and/or HAL, then put them into
