Crestron
C2N-IRGW-F
Setting up a
Philips Pronto
is easy!
If using the Philips Pronto, select RC5 code communication. For the
Philips Pronto, the RC5 system number is equivalent to Crestron's
Transmitter ID
code, which is a unique identifier assigned to each
transmitter. Likewise, RC5 command number is equivalent to Crestron's
Button ID
, which is synonymous with the join number used in SIMPL
Windows. There is no need to perform the two multi-step procedures in
the subsequent sections.
NOTE:
Typically, codes used by Magnavox, Marantz and Philips
audio/video equipment utilize RC5 codes for transmission. Some codes
used by Sharp Electronics Corporation are also usable.
Universal
remotes require
two multi-step
procedures for
setup.
Some devices from Magnavox, Marantz and Philips are designed to
understand certain kinds of infrared signals sent by remote controls,
specifically, signals belonging to the RC5 code set. Two procedures are
required to setup a universal remote. The first procedure verifies that the
universal remote chosen does transmit an identifiable code and therefore
can communicate with the Crestron control system. The second
procedure maps the buttons on the universal remote so that they can be
used in the SIMPL Windows program.
Code Verification
Each universal remote comes with its own manual, which lists codes by
device and manufacturer. The purpose of this procedure is to select and
program a code into the universal remote so that it can communicate with
the Crestron control system. All that is required to complete this
procedure is the C2N-IRGW-F, a PC running the Crestron Toolbox, a
Crestron control system connected to the PC and any universal remote
(complete with batteries and manufacturer's manual). The control system
should be running a valid SIMPL Windows program that includes the
C2N-IRGW-F at the proper Net ID so that it can be polled.
1. Using Cresnet cable, connect the pigtail wires from the
C2N-IRGW-F to the Crestron control system (
NET
port). Refer to
“Network Wiring” on page 6 for details.
2. Open the Crestron Toolbox.
3. Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon).
4. From the Toolbox menu, select
Functions | Identify Transmitter
.
The software checks the baud rate and then opens the “Identify
Transmitter” window, as shown after this step.
