n ConneCting the Cortexa to the network
This step establishes the Cortexa to your network and the accessibility to the Internet. In
most cases, the Cortexa will come plug and play out of the box, without requiring any
network conguration. If this is not the case, refer to Section 4, Initial Network Setup, for
more information.
n Configuring the sub-systems
From the Sub-System Setup tab on the Conguration Utility Page, congure each sub-system
to the Com port it is physically connected to. Com ports are selected by clicking on the drop
down arrow beside the port. This will display all available Com ports. Simply click on the
Com port desired and the Cortexa will then recognize that particular sub-system.
n setting uP the sub-systems
Within each sub-system, all of its specic devices must then be added to the Cortexa.
This is a simple process, and obviously varies by sub-system. Details on how to do this are
provided in the section of this Owners Guide pertaining to each sub-system. The following
is an overview by sub-system to help explain what information and conguration we are
talking about here.
Security: Security zone information is entered into the Cortexa Security Manager
HVAC: Each thermostat must be physically congured to have a unique address
Lighting: Specic lighting devices are congured into Areas (Rooms) in the Cortexa
Irrigation: Irrigation zones are added to and labeled in the Cortexa
Cameras: Names associated with each camera are assigned and entered into the
Cortexa
Audio: Zone names and source names are congured
IR Control: IR codes are learned into the Cortexa, and custom remote controls are
congured
