Quick-Start Guide
Installation
Your CP2 comes with rack mount ears that fit a standard 19 in rack, and a screw/washer kit. Rack
mounting eliminates the need for space between multiple units.
To change position of your rack ears:
1. Remove the two screws from each side near the front/rear (depending on which side you want
facing front of rack),
2. Attach the rack ears using screws that were removed previously.
The following shows two options: 1) mounting to the front (standard) and 2) mounting to the back.
Mount the unit by securing the rack-mount ears to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the
four screws and washers provided. Because the rack-mount ears support the weight of the entire
chassis, use all four screws and washers to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.

Quick-Start Guide
Connecting the CP2
To connect and start to use the CP2, complete the following steps in order:
1. On the back panel, except for connecting a power source, make all appropriate connections.
Note the following information:
Port Notes
Type B USB Port To connect to a computer or conferencing device for USB
audio
RS-232 Serial Port To connect to an external control device such as an AMX or

Ports
To connect together multiple CP2 units to create a site.
Warning: Use the C-Link In and C-Link Out ports with
only CONVERGE Pro 2 Devices. Connecting any other
devices to the C-Link In and C-Link Out ports, including
CONVERGE Pro or Beamforming Microphone Array
products results in severe equipment damage.
2. (Optional) If you want to use CONSOLE AI software to program the CP2 via USB, connect your
computer to the front panel USB port.
3. Connect AC Power.
Warning: This equipment must be connected to an AC mains socket outlet with
a protective earthing connection. The third prong of this connector (ground) is an
important safety feature. Do not attempt to disable this ground connection by using an
adaptor or other method.
4. On the front panel, check the LEDs. Use information in the following table:
