Description
LED
Network Status
• WHITE/off flashing – Initial boot / bootloader running
(500ms on/off).
• RED solid – Offline without an IP address or retrieving IP
address (can’t see gateway or DHCP server).
• YELLOW solid – Online with an IP address, but not con-
nected to Control4 Controller.
• GREEN flashing (2 flashes) – Identifying to Control4 Con-
troller (Identify button was pushed).
• GREEN solid – Ready with an IP address and connected
to Control4 Controller; no iPod in the Dock.
• PURPLE flashing – Updating Dock firmware.
iPod Status
• Without good network connectivity, the iPod will not
play in the Control4 environment; therefore, Network
Status takes precedence. If the Dock has booted prop-
erly, and has the proper connectivity to the network and
Controller, the following LED status applies. Otherwise,
the LED status listed above should apply even if an iPod
is docked.
• BLUE/YELLOW flashing - Connecting iPod.
• BLUE solid - iPod Connected/Ready.
• BLUE-GREEN solid - Media is streaming from the iPod
(the iPod is playing music or video through the Dock for
iPod).

Set Up Control4 Dock for iPod
Place the Dock on a table near both a power outlet and
an Ethernet connection, then plug the Ethernet connector
into the Ethernet jack on the back of the Dock.
Connect the power adapter and power plug, and then use
them to connect the Dock’s power jack to the power out-
let.
Note
: Use only the Control4 power adapter provided.
Use a Component cable (not provided) or the Audio/Vid-
eo breakout cable (provided) to connect the Dock’s Video
Out to a TV, Receiver, Amplifier, Controller, or other device
with AV input. If connecting the Dock to a Control4 Home
Controller HC-200, use the HC-200 interconnect cable
provided. This cable will only connect the Left / Right
audio output of the Dock for iPod to the audio inputs on
the HC-200. Component video connections still need to
be made separately if video playback is desired.
