Estimated time for this step: 5-10 minutes per CB6000
Here’s where you wake up your CB6000s and let them know what their mission is. You can of course recon-
figure them at any point if your setup changes or you make a mistake — but it’s best to plan ahead so that
you don’t have to (see Step 1).
For greatest efficiency, we recommend configuring your CB6000s all at once in the office prior to going to
the installation site, but you can also do it room by room at the school if you prefer.
1. Gather your configuration tools
To configure your CB6000s, you will need to collect:
• Your CB6000s
• Any of the following power sources:
• 1 FrontRow ICR-01 Smart Receiver or CM3000 amplifier/switch with power supply (included in most
full ezRoom systems); or
• 1 FrontRow TB14 adapter with power supply (included in the kit for using the CB6000 as a
stand-alone controller)
• 2 lengths of Cat 5 cable (one of these must be a crossover cable if using the TB14 as a power source —
see 2.b below)
• A computer with RJ45 connection and a web browser installed
• A completed ezRoom Installer Planning Template or other detailed information about the school’s
available IP addresses for your CB6000s, ICR-01 Smart Receivers or CM3000s, and other components
(see Step 1)
• Your Base Configuration File(s) (see Step 2)
• Masking tape or labels and a marker
2. Connect your configuration setup
Take your first CB6000 and connect it to your configuration equipment in either of the ways shown here:
a. With ICR-01 Smart Receiver as power source
WARNING: CONNECT THE ICR-01 TO THE CB6000’S ‘ NETWORK ONLY ’ JACK!
YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICES IF YOU CONNECT TO THE ‘ AUX ‘ JACK.
