FREE-FLOW CONFIGURATION
Installing the standard conguration application
The Free-Flow conguration application is available for download from the Adder
website (www.adder.com).
1 Install the application onto any computer (not necessarily one of the four computers
linked to the CCS-PRO4 switch).
2 Connect the computer to the CCS-PRO4 via the network port. See To temporarily
connect a computer to the network port for details.
3 Run the installation application and follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed,
start the Free-Flow application. It may report that it is ‘Unable to communicate with
the device’. If so:
a Click the OK button, whereupon the Free-Flow window will open.
b Select Congure > Connection... to display the Communication conguration
dialog.
c In the rst tab, select the Network connection. The Serial option is used only for
the standard CCS4-USB switch.
Conguring a standard Free-Flow system
Use the Free-Flow application to declare the display screens and their positions relative
to each other. Then download the conguration to the CCS-PRO4 switch.
1 On the icon bar, click the red, green, blue and yellow screen icons (or use the Screens
menu) to add the required number of display screens to the map area:
1A 2A 3A 4A
1A 2A
3A 4A
1A
2A 3A 4A
Note: By default, the Free-Flow screen will automatically add four screens in a straight row
(
1A 2A 3A 4A
), each at a resolution of 1920 x 1080. You can edit or delete these screens
as required.
2 Arrange the coloured rectangular screen representations to mimic the physical layout
of the actual displays, for example:
(Windows PC required)
d Enter the IP address of the CCS-PRO4 unit (it is set to 192.168.1.22 as standard) as
well as the username and password, if used.
e If required, test the connection. Select Congure > Send Layout to Switch. If
no error message is returned then you can assume the connection is working.
The important thing is to dene where each screen edge abuts to the next so that the
CCS-PRO4 switch can determine the correct moments to switch channels.
Use the small black squares around the perimeter of each highlighted screen
representation to change their size or stretch them.
Note: The numbering of the screen images relate directly to the four channels on the switch.
