InfiNET EX™ Gateway
Crestron
CEN-RFGW-EX
Acquiring the
MLX-2
(or other
infNET EX
device)
MLX-2s and other infiNET EX devices can communicate with a
CEN-RFGW-EX only if they have been acquired by that
CEN-RFGW-EX. The
Acquire
mode can be activated from Crestron
Toolbox (recommended) or with the
ACQUIRE
button on the
CEN-RFGW-EX.
NOTE:
To access this in Toolbox, select
Functions | infiNET EX
Gateway…
. Refer to the Toolbox Help file and search for “infiNET EX
Gateway” for more details.
NOTE:
Use Toolbox to set the RF channel before starting the acquire
process. The default RF channel is 15. If you change the RF channel on a
device, it will need to be acquired again.
NOTE:
The
Acquire
mode can be activated approximately 15 seconds
after applying power to the CEN-RFGW-EX.
NOTE:
In an environment with multiple gateways, only one gateway
should be in the
Acquire
mode at a time.
NOTE:
The CEN-RFGW-EX must be placed in
Acquire
mode before an
infiNET EX device is placed in the
Acquire
mode.
To acquire an MLX-2 or other infiNET EX device via the
ACQUIRE
button on the CEN-RFGW-EX:
1. Press
ACQUIRE
on the CEN-RFGW-EX to enter the
Acquire
mode. The accompanying LED will illuminate, indicating the unit
is ready to link to infiNET EX devices.
NOTE:
The
Acquire
mode will automatically deactivate after one
hour. This default timeout period can be changed from Toolbox.
2. Bring the MLX-2 or other infiNET EX device within range of the
gateway and place it in the
Acquire
mode as described in its
manual. The device will be automatically acquired by the gateway
within two minutes after it enters
Acquire
mode.
3. Repeat step 2 for each infiNET EX device to be acquired.
4. Press
AQCUIRE
on the CEN-RFGW-EX to exit the
Acquire
mode. The LED will turn off.
