You’ve got TAP and it’s been installed, GREAT! Now let’s get started quickly.
When you apply power to TAP, the controller will go through a sequence of boot-up routines. Additionally, if you can see inside the control box, you’ll probably see a flashing blue light and a solid red light. These lights are normal and expected.
When power is initially applied, TAP begins to run through a complex initialization period in which it configures all the inputs, outputs, and the underlying file system. This boot screen will be present for 5-10 seconds as it configures the inputs and outputs.
After this, the screen will display a manufacturer logo for 10-20 seconds. DO NOT WORRY… this is perfectly normal. During this time the controller is initializing all the peripherals, such as USB and Ethernet, as well as optimizing the display resolution and color settings.
Following the manufacturer logo, the controller will initialize the Home Screen. If a valid time is not recognized by the operating system, a Date/Time screen will be displayed.
If applicable, once you have entered the Date and Time, press “Done” on the screen. You will now be transitioned to the Home Screen, the starting point for all remaining controller activities.
