Installation

Ethernet Wiring

GPI/O Wiring
Connect the GPI port to the DB9 breakout wiring block using the RJ50-DB9 adapter cable.
(NOTE: The RJ50 connector has 10 contacts and a metal shielded end.)
GPI inputs can be provided by either relay contact closures or open-collector circuits of external equipment. GPI connections must include the ground (GND) reference. The input is activated when it is brought to the ground reference level.
GPO outputs provide a 5volt output level from the CP-16 when active, and ground level when inactive.

Configuration and Programming

Getting Started
The CP-16 is designed to control a single or multiple Apantac products that supports GPI or AXP protocol. This section will help you get the CP CP-16 up and running with the built built-in web page setup as quickly as possible.

Connecting to the CP CP-16 with a Web Browser
The default address for the CP-16 is 192.168.1.151. Open a web browser and type 192.168.1.151 in the URL address line. When connected the login page will be displayed.
The default username is “apantac”, the default password is “apantac”. The username and password are case-sensitive.

CP-16 Administration Setup
After you logon to the CP-16 page, you will be able to access 3 tabs, Setup, Advance and Adminstration. Click the Administration tab.

CP-16 Module Setup

The areas outlined in red in the figure 7.2 above pertain to the CP-16 module itself.

• Username
  The default username for logging on to these setup webpage is “apantac”. This can be changed to your preference. Click the corresponding “Apply” button after entering your information.

• Password
  The default password for logging on to these setup webpage is “apantac”. This can be changed to your preference. Click the corresponding “Apply” button after entering your information.

• DHCP Client
  DHCP can be Enabled or Disabled. Enabling DHCP will cause your network’s DHCP server (server or router) to assign the CP-16 an IP Address of it’s choice. Not knowing the assigned IP Address will make displaying the setup webpages difficult. If your I.T. department insists on DHCP, they should program their DHCP server (router) to assign a known, preselected IP Address to the CP-16 unit. To apply these changes click the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom of this webpage and then click the ‘Reboot’ button on the Setup tab.
  NOTE: If DHCP is Enabled, the following four network settings will be ignored. (Your Network’s DHCP server will assign them.)

• Static IP Address
  The IP Address of the CP-16 module. This should be set to an address on the same subnet as the multiviewers it will control.

• Static Subnet Mask
  Default subnet masks depend on the class of your network. Network class| Network IP addresses| Subnet Mask
  ---|---|---
  Class A| 10.xxx.xxx.xxx| 255.255.0.0
  Class B| 172.xxx.xxx.xxx| 255.255.240.0
  Class C| 192.168.xxx.xxx| 255.255.255.0

• Static Default Gateway
  Not applicable when CP-16 and Multiviewers are on the same local subnet network.

• Static DNS Server
  Not applicable when CP-16 and Multiviewers are on the same local subnet network.

Accessible IP Setting

WARNING: If enabled, only computers with these IP addresses can login to the CP-16’s webpages.

• IP #1 through IP #4
  Enter the IP addresses of the computer’s to be permitted to login to, access, and change the CP-16’s settings.

• Control
  This will enable or disable the ‘Accessible IP Setting’ function and settings. See the above warning prior to enabling this function.

Multiviewer Connection Setup
The areas outlined in red in the figure below pertain to the CP-16 module connecting to the multiviewer.

• Connection Type
  TCP or UDP protocol. Default is TCP (Apantac Tahoma multiviewers utilize TCP protocol.)

• Transmit Timer
  Transmission timeout limit. Default is ‘100’. Change to 200 or 300 ms if experiencing trouble with the multiviewer not receiving commands and no other reason can be found.

• Server / Client Mode
  CP-16 to Multiviewer communication mode. Default is ‘Client’ and cannot be changed.

• Server Listening Port
  Not applicable to the CP-16 functionality. Default is ‘2009’.

• Client Destination Host Name / IP
  Enter the IP addresses of the Apantac Tahoma Multiviewer that the CP-16 will control.

• Client Destination Port
  The multiviewer TCP/IP port number. Default is ‘101’, do not change. (Apantac Tahoma multiviewers utilize port 101 for receiving AXP command protocol.)

CP-16 Programming and GPIO Setup
The Setup tab provides for button programming and for GPIO setup.

Button Programming

When a button on the CP-16 is pressed it will send an ASCII text command to an Apantac Tahoma Multiviewer via TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet. The list of commands Apantac Tahoma Multiviewers will respond to is known as the “Apantac eXchange Protocol” or AXP for short. See the appendices for the list of AXP commands.

• Preset Button Mode
  AXP CMD or Reserved. Default is ‘AXP CMD’. ‘Reserved’ is for future firmware options and currently performs no function.

• GPIO Button Mode
  See the next section.

• AXP Ctrl 0 – AXP Ctrl 15
  Type the desired AXP command here for buttons 1 through 16. Click the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom of the page, then the confirmation popup box to complete the programming change.

AXP Examples:
To load a preset configuration file stored within the multiviewer.
Load |filename.pt1|

To select an SDI embedded audio channel for monitoring output.
Audio 0 SDI 1 1 1

Multiple commands:

Audio 0 SDI Label 0 5 1 . . . . |Audio pair 1|

A single button can send multiple commands.
Separate commands with |||.
This is the ‘vertical vertical-barbar’ key on your keyboard.

GPIO Control Setup

GPIO Button Mode
There are two options; GPO and AXP CMD.

GPO
When this option is selected the GPIO port on the back of the CP-16 is configured for output.
When buttons 1 through 8 are pressed the corresponding GPO wire on the port will go high (5 Volts). Only the actively lit button will be high, the other GPO wires will be low (0 volts).
The AXP command for the button will also be sent via TCP/IP to the multiviewer.
The GPO output can be used to trigger any external equipment.

Apantac Tahoma Multiviewer’s also have a GPIO port and the CP-16 GPO can be used to trigger these inputs if desired. The multiviewer must be configured to respond to GPIO inputs.

AXP CMD (GPI)
When this option is selected the GPIO port on the back of the CP CP-16 is configured for input.
An internal 5 5-volt source is provided through a ‘pull pull-up’ resistor. All inactive inputs of the GPI port will be high.
When the corresponding GPO wire on the port is brought low (shorted to the portport’s ground pin by an external relay or open open-collector GPO of an external piece of equipment) the corresponding button will be selected (buttons 1 through 8). The button will lite and the command will be sent via TC P/IP to the multiviewer.

CP-16 Advance tab
The Advance tab provides further administration setup and service.

• Firmware Upgrade Settings
  For use by authorized service personnel only. Contact Apantac Technical Support prior to making any changes on this page.

• Auto Warning Report Settings
  When certain setup actions are performed an alternate webpage is displayed as standard warnings. These are enabled by default and there are no reasons to alter these settings.

   Note: cross-over serial adapters or cables are also known as ‘Null Modem’ adapters or cables.

2. Power on the CP-16 unit.

3. Launch the “HyperTerminal” program on your PC.

4. Configure HyperTermianl to use the serial port with the following setup.

5. Key in the factory reset command “dft net ” then click Enter.(Note: insert a space after ‘dft’ and a space after ‘net’),

6. Power reset the CP-16 unit.

7. You can now connect to the CP-16 unit using WEB page.

   • Factory reset CP-16 IP address:  192.168.1.151
   • Factory reset WEB login username:  apantac
   • Factory reset WEB login password: apantac

Example and Notes…

When successfully connected to the CP CP-16 unit, the CP CP-16 will repeatedly output the following message approximately every 5 seconds.
Make a TCP connection with hostip 192 168 1 151 at port 101
After typing the ‘dft net ‘ command and pressing enter, the CP-16 will return the following acknowledgement.

AXP CMD(12)
12)->
**** CFG Default setting
Rx dft cfg dt.

You can now disconnect and close HyperTer minal and reboot the CP CP-16 unit.
If HyperTerminal is left connected during the CP CP-16 reboot, it will receive a number of bootup messages, some of which are shown above.
