This chapter covers basic configuration information, relating specifically to the Artisan surface.
Audio Engine
setup and configuration is covered in detail in the following manuals:
¾ Logitek Audio Engine Installation & Operation Manual
¾ Logitek AEConfig Reference Manual
COM Port Configuration
The Artisan contains 12 COM Ports per 25-pair connector from the Power Supply Unit. These
ports are internally mounted to connect to each module, with one external COM Port to connect
to the optional Meter Bridge. COM Ports are numbered A1-A12 (first 25-pair link) and B1-B12
(second 25-pair link).
By default, the Device Address to COM Port map is set inside the Artisan Power Supply Unit
firmware, and will suit most installations. The defaults are shown on the following page. COM Port
mapping can be changed using hex commands sent from Supervisor. These are stored in the power
supply’s non-volatile RAM, so don’t need to be sent each power up.
¬ See Appendix E for Artisan configuration commands.
Audio Engine Configuration
Configuration of the Audio Engine is done in AEConfig. Configuration is as per other Logitek
Surfaces – detailed in the Logitek AEConfig Reference Manual. Logitek Electronic Systems or your
reseller can provide assistance with building configurations.
” TIP: Support for Artisan surfaces and 5.1 audio requires AEConfig January 2007 or later.
¬ See the AEConfig User’s Manual for information on configuring Audio Engines.
CommandBuilder Triggers
The Artisan surface contains many programmable buttons and features. These features are scripted
in “triggers” in CommandBuilder, and executed by Supervisor.
¬ See the CommandBuilder User’s Manual for information on writing Triggers.
The CommandBuilder manual includes details and examples of Artisan specific features, such as
Monitor Hotkeys, Colored On/Off Lamps, Multi-brightness lamps and more. The programming of
these features does require a certain level of familiarity with the system. If you need assistance,
please contact Logitek Electronic Systems or your reseller.
