NetworkHD Setup

Watch the tutorial or read the guide below.

The Setup Wizard guides you through 7 easy steps to get your NetworkHD system up and running.

When you access your CTL-Pro controller for the first time, a setup wizard will automatically welcome you. You can reopen it at any time by going to the Controller tab, selecting Reopen the Wizard, and refreshing the page.

Using the Setup Wizard tool is optional. You’re free to configure your system directly in the WebUI. Learn more on the WebUI Overview page.
