Setting up with Composer, you have the flexibility to follow
any set up path you desire. When you become familiar
with the Control4 home automation system, this is the
quickest method for setting up a system. When designing,
setting up, and making connections for a project, you will
use the following Composer views:
`
System Design View
— Allows you to build the
Project Tree and identify the devices on the system.
`
Connection View
— Allows you to identify all
connections (Room, Control, AV, Network).
For more information and example implementations, see
the Composer online help.
Configure a Wireless Network (WiFi)
To set up the wireless or WiFi configuration, you need to
install a Wireless Access Point and use the Network
Configuration Wizard within the Composer software. For
special tips and guidelines for setting up a wireless
network to use to support Control4 products, see the
Composer online help topic: “Guidelines for Setting up a
Wired and Wireless Network.”
Set Up Media and Create Playlists
To use the supported Media Management features, you
need to have access to the media from either an external
storage device or other stored or broadcast media
available from other devices—such as a PC, disc
changer, tuner, or network. To set up an external storage
device, see the online help topic: “Use External Storage
Devices.”
To set up Media or create playlists on the system, you can
use Composer Media Edition or the Media view within the
Composer Professional Edition. For more information,
see the online help topic: “Set up Media and Create
Playlists.”
