During the installation process, click the Continue Anyway button for the installation to proceed.Designing System and Creating Groups and UsersDesigning the system includes using the Composer software to determine the make up of the Touch4 system. Within the Composer software, you define the project tree to build the system design. It includes defining the building, tenants, floors, and areas, and the devices that you want to control on the system.You also need to create groups and users at each area location and define their respective rights to a given area. Tenants are given the administration rights to make changes in that domain as defined by building administrators. An important part of designing the system is backing up the design in a project file that you can load later to the System Controller. See Composer Online help for information about how to design a Touch4 System.Installing and Configuring Hardware In order to use the Touch4™ system to control devices, you must install the hardware and make physical connections between devices, then mirror the physical connections with logical connections in the software project. Use Table 1, “Connection Worksheet for System Controller” to plan and make physical connections and then make the logical connections within the Composer software.Table 1: Connection Worksheet for System ControllerConnection Options and Typical Use Reserved for:Power plug port—For C6 power connector.
