 Connect the IPCP505 to a network (LAN) and connect other devices to the IPCP (see

Rear Panel Features and Connections starting on page 11 or see the “Setup”

section of the IPCP505 Setup Guide).

 Connect power cords and turn on the output devices (projectors, monitors, speakers),

the IPCP, a PC (for setup) or touchpanel (for control after configuration), and input

devices (DSS, cable boxes, and the like).
