Its not a stand alone unit so it won't work (play audio) unless its part of a network and identified by a primary Control4 controller. A dealer needs to set that up along with sources and zone outputs. Without being connected to the network or a controller, you can adjust DHCP or static ip network settings as well as audio settings (tone/gain/etc) for each zone.

In your first sentence you state that it needs to be connected to a controller/network but in your second sentence you say without being connected you CAN adjust network and audio settings.. Can you please clarify? If this unit does not act as a stand alone device, what is the point of the knob and display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To prepare the matrix for the network and controller, you can either give it a static ip address or set it to DHCP from the front panel using the buttons and the knob. The audio settings can also be set with those knobs but that can also be done with the dealer's software once the matrix is identified into the project.
