To switch off the XL8 Control Centre
To switch off the control centre, make sure you have saved any scenes or settings you
require and switch off the five bay mains on/off switches on the rear of the control
centre, one at a time.
Booting up
The XL8 Control Centre has two boot up modes, cold and hot.
Cold boot occurs with a brand new system that has never before operated as a system.
Cold boot determines the system configuration and sets up all the IP addresses and unit
names.
Hot boot is the normal mode of operation (even if the XL8 has just been loaded from a
truck and is physically cold!). Hot boot uses the configuration and names stored in the
system flash memory. A complete hot boot takes up to 30 seconds. Should the
configuration not match the previously stored settings the user is asked what action the
XL8 should take.
GUI screen brightness - adjustment
After power up, the brightness of the GUI screens on the XL8 Control Centre can be
adjusted; see "General screen" on page 140.
