ABOUT YOUR CP450 2

CP450 SERIESTOUCH SCREEN CONTROLLERS
The CP450 Series of touch screen controllers are
ideal for a wide variety of applications that include
the following: multimedia control systems, general
computing, advertising, real-time data terminals,
interactive self-service centers, digital surveillance,
etc. Each controller is a computer running Windows
XP Embedded that includes these key features:
•Touch Screen
•Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
•Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN)
•2 COM ports and 2 LAN ports
•Integrated Dual Speakers
•Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) Protection
•AVSnap™Professional AV System Integration Tool
The CP450 senses “touch” from a finger, stylus,
pen, pencil, gloved finger, or other tool. The touch
screen is very accurate and responsive to the
touch. The CP450 incorporateseffortlessly into PC
based control systems.
The two COM ports can control virtually any serial
device using standard RS-232 communication.
The two LAN ports allow connectivity to a local area
network or a direct connection to another TCP/IP
device. For added flexibility, consider the ALTINEX
AC301-201 TCP/IP to RS-232 Adapter. This
adapter allows RS-232 communication through a
standard LAN connection.
The AC301-201 has both serial (DB9) and network
(RJ-45) connections. The AC301-201 connects to a
serial device using its DB9 connection, and to the
LAN using standard network cable. AVSnap,
HyperTerminal, or other RS-232 communication
software can then be used to control the serial
device using the IP address of the adapter in place
of the COM port.In this way, a single controller can
be used to control any number of serial devices
using their unique IP address.
The built-in wireless LAN can be used to control
remote devices through a wireless router or directly
to a remote IP. As an information interface in a
classroom, public information kiosk, etc., the
wireless connection can also be used to upload
real-time data to the CP450 ensuring the most
up-to-date information is available to the user.
The Bluetooth module inside each CP450 is
compatible with most peripheral devices like
headsets, barcode readers, printers, cell phones,
and more.
The CP450 can be mounted to a stand for table
use; it can be wall or rack mounted. The 7, 8, and
10-inch models have standard 75mm x75mm
VESA mounting on the back of the unit. The 15, 17,
and 19-inch models have standard
100mm x100mm spacing, while the 12-inch has
both 75 and 100mm spacing.
AVSnap provides a complete environment for
designing simple to sophisticated graphical user
interfaces (GUIs). AVSnap is preinstalled on each
CP450 making it easy to integrate into any control
environment. Design high-quality GUIs with
minimum effort by way of user-friendly toolbars for
buttons, volume controls, progress bars, and much
more. AVSnap incorporates a simple programming
language with an organized interface that makes
even complex programming code easy to read and
maintain.
Everything needed to start is included in a sample
application. Use the predefined procedures and
functions to communicate with devices over
RS-232 or LAN, or create your own custom
subroutines. If you can program Crestron or AMX,
you can program AVSnap.
The EWF prevents changes to the internal drive
without specific intent and access. This protectsthe
BIOS and operating system files from becoming
corrupt due to power outages or other power
interruptions.
