ABOUT YOUR CP451-008 2
CP451-008 SERIES
Wireless Touchscreen Controller
The CP451-008 touch screen controller is ideal for
a great many applications including multimedia
control systems, general computing, real-time data
terminals, etc. Each controller runs Windows XP
Embedded and includes these key features:
• Battery Powered
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
• Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN)
• Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) Protection
• AVSnap™ Professional AV System Integration Tool
The CP451-008 senses “touch” from a finger,
stylus, pen, pencil, gloved finger, or other tool. The
touch screen is very accurate and responsive to the
touch. The CP451-008 incorporates effortlessly into
PC based control systems.
Since the CP451-008 can run on battery power,
most setups use the WLAN feature. For added
flexibility, consider the ALTINEX AC301-201
TCP/IP to RS-232 Adapter. This adapter allows
RS-232 communication through a standard LAN
connection. Place the AC301-201 on an RS-232
controlled device and then connect it to a wireless
router for an instant wireless network.
The AC301-201 has both serial (DB9) and network
(RJ-45) connections. The AC301-201 connects to a
serial device using its DB9 connection, and to the
LAN using standard network cable. AVSnap,
HyperTerminal, or other RS-232 communication
software can then be used to control the serial
device using the IP address of the adapter in place
of the COM port. In this way, a single controller can
be used to control any number of serial devices
using their unique IP address.
The Bluetooth module inside each CP451-008 is
compatible with most peripheral devices like
headsets, barcode readers, printers, cell phones,
and more.
The CP451-008 is small, lightweight, and powerful.
It can easily be carried from room to room and used
to control several devices on one or more wireless
networks.
AVSnap is preinstalled on each CP451-008 making
it easy to integrate into any control environment.
AVSnap provides a complete environment for
designing simple to sophisticated graphical user
interfaces (GUIs). Design high-quality GUIs with
minimum effort by way of user-friendly toolbars for
buttons, volume controls, progress bars, and much
more. AVSnap incorporates a simple programming
language with an organized interface that makes
even complex programming code easy to read and
maintain.
Everything needed to start is included in a sample
application. Use the predefined procedures and
functions to communicate with devices over the
WLAN, or create your own custom subroutines. If
you can program Crestron or AMX, you can
program AVSnap.
The EWF prevents changes to the internal drive
without specific intent and access. This protects the
BIOS and operating system files from becoming
corrupt due to power outages or other power
interruptions.
The AC404-101 is an optional docking cradle
available for the CP451-008 that includes 2 USB
ports, an Ethernet/LAN (RJ-45) port, and an input
for DC power. Power is provided to the cradle using
the power adapter supplied with the unit. The USB
and LAN ports make the cradle an ideal base
station that allows for a permanent LAN connection
as well as inputs for a USB keyboard and mouse.
When not in use, the CP451-008 can be placed
back on the cradle for charging.
