Mounting D-Control Cables (Optional)

These ties can be affixed to the D-Control
stand legs with the #8 x 1/2-inch self-tapping screws.
Adhesive-Backed Ties
These self-sticking tie mounts let you
place cable ties anywhere on the D-Control unit, and can be
used to dress cables or to mount an Ethernet hub under the
unit.
Reconfiguring the D-Control Keyboard
for a Windows System
The computer keyboard on the D-Control Main Unit ships
with a Mac keyboard configuration.
If you will be using D-Control with a Windows-based
Pro Tools system, you will need to reconfigure the computer
keyboard.
To reconfigure the D-Control computer keyboard for Windows:
1
Using a 5/64-inch hex wrench, remove the screws in the
computer keyboard panel and detach it from the D-Control
Main Unit.
2
Locate the switch on the printed circuit board under the
keyboard and move it to the opposite position.
3
Remove the two Apple Command (
a
) keys from either side
of the Spacebar on the alpha keyboard.
4
Move the Alt/Option keys inward to replace the Apple Com-
mand keys.
5
Install the included Start (or “Windows”) keys to replace the
Alt/Option keys.
6
Remove the Equals (=) key, also called “Capture” key, from
the numeric keypad.
7
Move the Slash (/) key, also called the “Enter Start End
Length” key, to replace the Equals key.
8
Move the Asterisk (*) key, also called the Enter Main Counter
key, to replace the Slash key.
9
Move the Minus (–) key to replace the Asterisk key.
10
Remove the Plus (+) key and install the included dou-
ble-sized plus key to replace the old Plus and Minus keys.
