DM-TX-300N/-F

 

  DigitalMedia™ CAT & Fiber Transmitters 300N

 

Setup 

Network Wiring 

When wiring the DM network, consider the following: 

NOTE:

  DMNet wiring and Cresnet

®

 wiring are not compatible. 

• 

Use Crestron Certified Wire. 

• 

Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. 

• 

Provide sufficient power to the system. 

• 

For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable. Do NOT 
use low skew cable. Up to two DM Repeaters (model DM-DR, sold 
separately), may be required. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron 
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete wiring guidelines. 

• 

For DigitalMedia fiber wiring, use CresFiber or other quality duplex 
multimode fiber optic cable. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron 
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete wiring guidelines. 

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 (

www.crestron.com/calculators

). 

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page 33. 

Identity Code 

NOTE:

  In the SIMPL Windows program, when the DM-TX-300N/-F is dropped 

onto an input card of a DM switcher, its IP ID is assigned automatically and does not 
require additional programming. Use the information below when the  
DM-TX-300N/-F is dropped directly into an Ethernet slot on the control system in 
SIMPL Windows, without a DM switcher. 

The IP ID is set within the DM-TX-300N/-F’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For 
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs 
of multiple DM-TX-300N/-F 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.
