touchpanel pages, with the same outstanding runtime performance. Crestron
e-Control 2 also generates standalone XPanel programs that users can launch
from their Windows
®
desktop or from Windows PocketPC 2002 PDA devices
and Windows Tablet PCs. With built-in support for SSL, users can feel
confident knowing that their Crestron e-Control 2 connection to the control
system is secure and private.
The QM-RMCRX-BA supports all Crestron e-Control power applications,
including Crestron RoomView™ software. Using Crestron RoomView,
organizations can monitor multiple room A/V controllers on an Ethernet
network, in real time, from any network PC. Crestron RoomView and the
QM-RMCRX-BA can provide remote power control and management of A/V
devices, including monitoring lamp life of projectors, device status to ensure
proper equipment operations, room occupancy, equipment use log, and device
and room security.
NOTE:
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol
that enables a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to an
individual computer’s TCP/IP stack software. DHCP assigns a number
dynamically from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a
given network.
NOTE:
DNS stands for Domain Name Service (or System). Its primary use is
to translate, or resolve, the IP number for a computer (e.g., 129.79.5.208) from
an alphanumeric name.
NOTE:
SSL, or Secure Socket Layer, is the most commonly used protocol for
Web security. In addition to providing security for HTTP (Web hypertext)
transactions, SSL works with other TCP/IP standards such as IMAP mail and
LDAP directory access. For a security standard such as SSL to work, the
browser and the Web server must both be configured to use it. SSL works by
creating a temporary shared “key” that only allows the devices on either end of a
transmission, to scramble and unscramble information. To anyone between the
sender and the receiver, the SSL transmission is indecipherable. SSL uses
certificates to verify that a device, browser or server is authentic. In addition, all
data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for
detecting tampering — that is, for automatically determining whether the data
has been altered in transit. Crestron’s implementation of SSL supports self-
signed certificates and certificates issued by official Internet Certifying
Authorities combined with assignable security levels and password protection.
Crestron SSL integration uses the RSA 1024 bit Key Exchange Algorithm with
a host of cipher suites.
The QM-RMCRX-BA also provides two isolated relays for controlling low
voltage contact closure devices such as drapes, screens and lifts.
QuickMedia Transport System
Using a new, proprietary signal routing solution, signals such as composite
video, S-video, RGBHV, audio, and microphone are all transported using a
single cable solution called QuickMedia (QM).
The QM transport system port is capable of managing computer, video, and
audio signals simultaneously through one CAT5E or CAT6 UTP (unshielded
twisted pair) wire, simplifying installations.
Routing CAT5E or CAT6 UTP cable is less expensive and much simpler than
routing multi-colored, multi-conductor coax cable. All Crestron products using
the QM transport system are capable of sending and receiving QM signals via
