Testing the device connections

When you test a Control4 device connection, you are ensuring that the connection is successful so you don’t encounter any problems with devices not functioning later on. You must perform this action for customer satisfaction. For information about identifying devices and device connections, see the Composer Pro User Guide.

The following types of connections may need to be tested on the Control4 system:

• Network connections—Defines the devices that use a network address. Network connections include IP and Zigbee or Zigbee Pro devices.

• Control connections—Defines the control connection between a device and the controller. Control connections include contacts, relays, serial, and IR-controlled (infrared) devices.

• Audio and video connections—Defines the devices that have audio and/or video signals.

• Room connections—Defines the video, audio, or video/audio end points and the video/audio or audio volume for the selected room.
