Establishing communications with the program

The TPT150 transmitter will not operate properly unless it is connected to a powered TPR150 receiver.

Start the control program and establish communications with the TPT150 as follows:

1. Click Start > Programs > Extron > ICS100. The control program window appears.

The TPS150 does not respond until it has been contacted with the valid address.

If you have previously connected to the transmitter and have not addressed any other device since then, after a moment, the program reports that it has connected to a TPT150 (figure 4-1). Proceed to step 10.

If you have not connected to the transmitter before or if you have connected to a different device since then, after a moment, the program reports a failure to connect (figure 4-2). Continue to step 2.
