Tangent Element Installation

We recommend a five panel setup for the Tangent Element panels when using Nucoda or Phoenix.

We use an extra Element-Bt (buttons) panel. You can run with fewer than five panels but you will want to remap some options in this case.

Panel Installation

• Connect the Tangent Panels to the workstation
• Install the Tangent Hub application (download from Tangent Support)
• Run the Tangent synapse application.
  • You should have three green lights and 4 connected panels ­ (MF, BT , Kb and TK). There may also be a Wave with a red icon next to it.
• Select configure, select the Wave and press the ­icon to remove it from the list.
• Select the + icon and select Element­Bt to add the second button panel.
  • It will rename the existing panel to Element­Bt(1) and add Element­Bt(2)
  • You can now use the up and down arrow icons to change the positions of the panels to :
    • Element­KB
    • Element­Bt (1)
    • Element­Tk
    • Element­Bt(2)
    • Element­Mf

This will place them in the default Left to Right order in the Tangent Mapper.

• Press apply ­and the serial number of the panels will be read from the panels.

Test the panel function by pressing keys and turning the encoders : activity will show up next to the panel in question.

Note: You can't run the Tangent Synapse and Mapper applications at the same time.

Nucoda / Phoenix Installation

• Run the Nucoda or Phoenix installer
• Make sure you select options :
  • Tangent Panel
  • US Keyboard

If the panels are installed correctly you will see the following in your console after starting the application :

winsock version 2.2 ok
