Applications or Application Requirements

The center of the Touch4 system is the System

Controller (HTC), which communicates with Johnson

Controls and third-party products to enable office

automation and interaction of individual devices.

The Touch4 system is made of a combination of

Johnson Controls or third-party devices that are

controllable using BACNET, TCP/IP, Infrared (IR), RS

232, contacts, relays, WiFi, ZigBee, etc.

The Touch system provides a customizable navigation

device user interface. It has the ability to easily tie all

the devices to the system to easily program

interactions between devices on the system.

On the Touch4 system, you set up the system using

Composer software that resides on the PC. The PC

communicates to the System Controller using a Local

Area Network (TCP/IP). You need to use the Composer

software to define locations, devices, and the

programming interaction between the controllable

system devices on the Touch4 system.

When you arrive on-site, you need to establish a

network connection using your normal method, such as

WiFi (wireless) or Ethernet (Category 5 cable).

You need to place the System Controller at a location

where there is an Ethernet port available to the Local

Area Network, such as a direct connection to the

router, switch, or Ethernet port on the wall.

Software and hardware requirements for setting up a

Touch4 system include:

• System Controller hardware (included)

• PC Software and Hardware

• Composer Professional Software (sold

separately)

• Microsoft .NET 1.1 and Support Pack 1

(Installation automatically launched from
