Installing, Launching, and Connecting the Setup Software
3.3 Connecting the Hardware
There are three ways to connect computer hardware to the CP750.
• The USB port on the front panel of the unit, shown in Figure 1‐1, is expressly designed
for easy connection to laptop computers with a standard A to B cable.
• You can connect a pin‐to‐pin serial cable to the RS-232 connector on the unit rear
panel.
• You can connect directly to the Ethernet connector on the unit rear panel. If your
laptop supports Gigabit Ethernet, use a standard Ethernet cable. Otherwise, use a
crossover cable.
3.4 Launching the Setup Application
To launch the CP750 setup application, click the Start button and scroll to Programs. In the
Dolby folder, double‐click Dolby CP750 Setup.
The Dolby ® CP750 setup window appears, as shown in Figure 4‐1.
3.5 Connecting to a Local or Remote Device
You can use the setup software Action menu, shown in Figure 3‐2, to connect to a local or a
remote device.

These options allow you to connect to a CP750 that is either connected to your PC (local
device) or connected to an Ethernet network (remote device). If you select Connect to
remote device, the system prompts you to enter an IP address.
You must change your laptop’s TCP/IP properties to communicate properly with the CP750
when connecting the setup software to a CP750 using a PC Ethernet connection. We
recommend the following TCP/IP settings to enable your PC to communicate with a CP750
using its default setting.
IP address: 192.168.1.200
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.128
Default gateway: 192.168.1.129
Note: The CP750 default IP address (for connecting) is 192.168.1.136.
