Digital Audio Processor: C2N-DAP8
Operations Guide - DOC. 8186
NOTE:
When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three network conductors.
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number
from 03 to FE. The NET ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the
SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page
41 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.
Refer to the note on page 45 for
a definition of Viewport.
The NET ID of the C2N-DAP8 has been factory set to
50
. The NET IDs of multiple
C2N-DAP8s in the same system must be unique. NET IDs are changed from a
personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE
: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to “Communication Settings” on page 45. If communication
cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the
respective Operations Guide for the control system.
There are two different methods for setting the C2N-DAP8 NET IDs:
Method A
(Cresnet address-settable ID), described below, requires that a single unit
be the only network device connected to the control system. This method is
necessary with a 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version prior to 3.008.
It is optional with later versions of the operating system.
Method B
(Touch-Settable IDs), which begins on page 11, applies to C2N-DAP8s in
a Cresnet system with 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version 3.029 or
later. These upgrades enable Touch-Settable ID (TSID) functionality, which makes it
possible for the control system to recognize a network device via its serial number,
which is stored in the device’s memory. This method does not require that any
devices be disconnected from the network; NET IDs may be set with the entire
Cresnet system intact. This method requires the use of the Crestron Viewport version
3.35 or later.
Use the appropriate method to set the C2N-DAP8 NET ID.
Method
A (Cresnet address-settable ID)
1.
Ensure that the C2N-DAP8 is the only device connected to the control
system.
2.
Open the Crestron Viewport.
3. From
the
Viewport
Functions
menu, select
Set Network ID
. The
Viewport will check the baud rate and then display the "Set Network
ID" window.
4.
In the "Set Network ID" window, select the C2N-DAP8 from the
Current Network Devices
text window.
5.
Select the new NET ID for the C2N-DAP8 from the
Choose the new
network ID for the selected device (Hex):
text box.
