Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet
®
and Ethernet network, consider the following:
•
Use Crestron Certified Wire.
•
Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
•
Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION:
Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system (
).
Cresnet
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 49.
Ethernet
The CEN-RGBHV can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between
the device and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based
devices.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available for download from the Crestron website (
Identity Code
Net ID
The Net ID of the CEN-RGBHV has been factory set to
33
. The Net IDs of multiple
CEN-RGBHV devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from
a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 26).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
•
The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
•
Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
IP ID
The IP ID is set within the CEN-RGBHV’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple CEN-RGBHV devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
•
The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
•
Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
