HAL SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE About Control Pages This section contains the background information you need to work effectively with HAL System Control Pages. In addition to reviewing these conceptual details and best practices, we highly recommend that you review in Halogen online help the included Web Controls and DR6 starter configuration examples and the detailed descriptions of the various tasks you can perform. You develop a set of custom control pages in the Control Page Designer dialog, which you can open via the Controls Systems toolbar menu in the Processing Workspace. 1.

Basics of Control Pages What are control pages and why would I use them? HAL System Control Pages allow you to create custom pages that allow an end-user to control a HAL system from almost any device that can host a web browser or from one or more DR6s. The HAL includes a built-in web server for web controls that provides a connection for browser-based control devices, such as tablets, smart phones, laptops, and desktop computers. You can also use control pages in DR6 devices that you've included in your system. To use control pages, you first create the pages in Halogen using the Control Page Designer, assign them to the Web and/or to DR6 devices, test them from within Halogen on your PC and/or HAL, then put them into operation in the end-user's HAL audio system. In short, Halogen Control Pages allow you to create custom control pages for a HAL system that the end-user can access from common browser-based devices, either wirelessly or via Ethernet, or from one or more DR6 devices. What controls can I use on a control page? Control Pages use External Controls as the building blocks for providing control access. This means that a page can include any of the four types of linkable controls that the HAL system provides for controlling the 154
