Physical and Logical Connections
In a Media Controller system, physical and logical
connections are required in order to control, navigate, and
use the system as designed.
This section describes, in general terms, how to set up the
physical connections required for Media Controller and all
of the devices associated with it. You should also refer to
any device-specific documentation for additional
installation instructions.
To set up the
logical connections required, refer to
Control4 Composer User Guide software documentation.
Home Network Requirements
Ensure that your home network wiring is in place before
starting your system setup. Consider these networking
issues:
`
Media Controller requires an Ethernet connection in
order to use all features as designed. When
connected, Media Controller can access Web-based
media databases (such as Muze and Gracenote) and
can easily access Control4 system updates.
`
Media Controller can be used in Ethernet and WiFi
networks, and makes use of ZigBee (wireless mesh
network) 802.15.4 to control lighting and other
ZigBee-enabled products.
`
The network wiring required for your system depends
on what you plan to install: Refer to the requirements
outlined in each device’s documentation.
