7.0 Configuration and Programming
7.1 Getting Started
The CP-16 is designed to control a single or multiple Apantac products that supports GPI or
AXP protocol. This section will help you get the CP-16 up and running with the built-in web
page setup as quickly as possible.
7.2 Connecting to the CP-16 with a Web Browser
The default address for the CP-16 is 192.168.1.151. Open a web browser and type
192.168.1.151 in the URL address line. When connected the login page will be displayed.
The default username is “apantac”, the default password is “apantac”. The username and
password are case sensitive.

7.3.1 CP-16 Module Setup
The areas outlined in red in the figure 7.2 above pertain to the CP-16 module itself.
Username
The default username for logging on to these setup webpage is "apantac". This can be
changed to your preference. Click the corresponding "Apply" button after entering your
information.
Password
The default password for logging on to these setup webpage is "apantac". This can be
changed to your preference. Click the corresponding "Apply" button after entering your
information.
DHCP Client
DHCP can be Enabled or Disabled. Enabling DHCP will cause your network's DHCP
server (server or router) to assign the CP-16 an IPAddress of it's choice. Not knowing the
assigned IPAddress will make displaying the setup webpages difficult. If your I.T.
department insists on DHCP, they should program their DHCP server (router) to assign a
known, preselected IPAddress to the CP-16 unit. To apply these changes click the 'Apply'
button at the bottom of this webpage and then click the 'Reboot' button on the Setup tab.
NOTE: If DHCP is Enabled, the following four network settings will be ignored. (Your
Network's DHCP server will assign them.)
Static IPAddress
The IPAddress of the CP-16 module. This should be set to an address on the same subnet
as the multiviewers it will control.
Static Subnet Mask
Default subnet masks depend on the class of your network.
Network class
Network IP addresses
Subnet Mask
Class A
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
255.255.0.0
Class B
172.xxx.xxx.xxx
255.255.240.0
Class C
192.168.xxx.xxx
255.255.255.0
Static Default Gateway
Not applicable when CP-16 and Multiviewers are on the same local subnet network.
Static DNS Server
Not applicable when CP-16 and Multiviewers are on the same local subnet network.

webpages.
IP #1 through IP #4
Enter the IP addresses of the computer's to be permitted to login to, access, and change the
CP-16's settings.
Control
This will enable or disable the 'Accessible IP Setting' function and settings. See the above
warning prior to enabling this function.

Client Destination Host Number
Allows for programming up to 16 different multiviewers for the CP-16 to control. You must
click the ‘Apply’ button below each time you select a different Host Number (multiviewer) to
refresh the page with that multiviewer’s information before changing any of the following
fields.
The following three fields apply to the particular Host Number chosen above.
Assign to AXP Ctrl Number
Enter which buttons will send their commands to this multiviewer (Host Number).
Acceptable numbers are 1 through 16. Separate the button numbers by a period character.
Setting this parameter to 0 (zero) will assign no buttons to this host, effectively disabling the
host.
Client Destination Host Name / IP
Enter the IP addresses of theApantac Tahoma Multiviewer to be associated with the chosen
Host Number.
Client Destination Port
This is the TCP/IP port number the multiviewer receives the AXP command protocol through.
Default is '101', do not change. (All Apantac Tahoma multiviewers utilize port 101 for
receiving AXP command protocol.)

Aprogramming example:
Section 7.4 below explains how to assign AXP commands to the 16 buttons. This section determines
which multiviewer IP addresses a particular button’s commands will be sent to. Each button can send its
commands to one or more multiviewers (IP addresses). [ The programming may appear to be logically
reverse. Instead of assigning which destinations a particular button will send to, the configuration
designates which buttons will send to the particular destination. ]
In this example let’s imagine we want buttons 1 through 4 to control multiviewer #1, buttons 5 through 8
to control multiviewer #2, and buttons 9 through 12 to simultaneously control multiviewers #3, #4, and
#5. The resulting settings would be as shown in this table.

Procedure;
1. Select Host 1 in the pulldown, click the Apply button below, and wait for the page to refresh.
2. Set the Client Destination Host Number to “1.2.3.4”designating that buttons 1 through 4 will
send their commands to this multiviewer.
3. Set the Client Destination Host Name / IP to the IP address of this multiviewer. (In this
example we used 192.168.1.151 .)
4. Set the Client Destination Port to “101”. (All Apantac multiviewer’s receive AXP command
protocol via port 101. )
5. Click the Apply button below to set these parameters. Wait for the page to refresh.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for all 16 Host Numbers*.
* Host Numbers which are not used should have the ‘Assign to AXP Ctrl Number’parameter set to “0”.

7.4.1 Button Programming
When a button on the CP-16 is pressed it will send anASCII text command to an Apantac
Tahoma Multiviewer via TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet. The list of commands Apantac
Tahoma Multiviewers will respond to is known as the "Apantac eXchange Protocol" or
AXP for short. See the appendices for the list of AXP commands.
Preset Button Mode
AXP CMD or Reserved. Default is 'AXP CMD'. 'Reserved' is for future firmware options
and currently performs no function.
GPIO Button Mode
See the next section.
AXP Ctrl 0 - AXP Ctrl 15
Type the desired AXP command here for buttons 1 through 16. Click the 'Apply' button at
the bottom of the page, then the confirmation popup box to complete the programming
change.
AXP Examples:
To load a preset configuration file stored within the multiviewer.
Load |filename.pt1|
To select an SDI embedded audio channel for monitoring output.
Audio 0 SDI 1 1 1
Multiple commands:
Audio 0 SDI 1 1 1 ||| Label 0 5 1 . . . . |Audio pair 1|
A single button can send multiple commands.
Separate commands with ||| .
This is the 'vertical-bar' key on your keyboard.

7.4.2 GPIO Control Setup
GPIO Button Mode
There are two options; GPO and AXP CMD.
GPO
When this option is selected the GPIO port on the back of the CP-16 is configured for output.
When buttons 1 through 8 are pressed the corresponding GPO wire on the port will go high
(5 Volts). Only the actively lit button will be high, the other GPO wires will be low (0
volts).
The AXP command for the button will also be sent via TCP/IP to the multiviewer. The GPO
output can be used to trigger any external equipment.
Apantac Tahoma Multiviewer's also have a GPIO port and the CP-16 GPO can be used to
trigger these inputs if desired. The multiviewer must be configured to respond to GPIO
inputs.
AXPCMD (GPI)
When this option is selected the GPIO port on the back of the CP-16 is configured for input.
An internal 5-volt source is provided through a 'pull-up' resistor. All inactive inputs of the
GPI port will be high.
When the corresponding GPO wire on the port is brought low (shorted to the port's ground
pin by an external relay or open-collector GPO of an external piece of equipment) the
corresponding button will be selected (buttons 1 through 8). The button will lite and the
command will be sent via TCP/IP to the multiviewer.
