DigitalMedia 8G Fiber Receiver 200
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the DM network, consider the following:
Use Crestron Certified Wire.
Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
CAUTION:
Failure to use Crestron power supplies could cause equipment
damage or void the Crestron warranty.
Provide sufficient power to the system.
For DigitalMedia 8G multimode fiber wiring, CresFiber 8G is
recommended. Refer to the following table for the maximum transmission
distance of CresFiber 8G and other fiber optic cable.
DigitalMedia 8G Multimode Fiber Wiring and Maximum Transmission Distance
CABLE TYPE
MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION DISTANCE
CresFiber 8G
1000 feet (~300 meters)
CresFiber
500 feet (~150 meters)
Generic OM3
500 feet (~150 meters)
For DigitalMedia 8G single-mode fiber wiring, CresFiber 8G SM is
recommended. The maximum transmission distance of CresFiber 8G SM or
generic G.652.D (or better) single-mode fiber optic cable is 7.5 miles
(12 km).
Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546)
for complete system design guidelines.
The DM receiver also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, media server, and other IP-based devices. For
general 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 from the Crestron Web site (
). For information
specifically related to Ethernet connectivity using DigitalMedia devices, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron IP Considerations Guide for the IT Professional (Doc.
4579), which is also available from the Crestron Web site
(
).
Identity Code
NOTE:
In the SIMPL Windows
program, the IP ID of the DM receiver is assigned
automatically and does not require additional programming when the DM receiver is
dropped onto an output card of a DM switcher. Use the information below when the
DM receiver 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 IP table of the DM receiver using Crestron Toolbox™.
For information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP
IDs of multiple DM receivers in the same system must be unique.
