Configuration and Control: an Overview
AV Configuration
The AV and front panel lockout settings for the system can be configured:
•
via a host connection through the LAN port or the USB port using PCS software (see
AV Configuration Using PCS Software
•
by using the on-screen display menu system (see
page 28). For cabling details see
on page 18 and
Many settings can be configured using either method (OSD or PCS). Some settings are
available only in the PCS software.
Control Configuration
The control ports of the HCR 102 receiver must be configured before use in order to
recognize and accept commands and pass them on to the controlled device. It can be
configured and controlled via a host computer connected to the same network as the
HCR 102. See
starting on page 18 for details about LAN
port and cabling to connect the receiver to the network.
•
Configure the receiver by using Toolbelt software and by using Global Configurator
software in GC Professional or GC Plus mode. See the Extron
hardware and software requirements.
•
The default web page embedded within the receiver provides a means to view general
hardware information, network settings, and, if configured, project information. The
embedded web page can also be used to update the firmware. However, you cannot
configure either the AV settings of the system or the control features of the receiver via
the embedded web page.
