QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron
QM-RMCRX
The QM-RMCRX provides an integrated Web server with SSL, allowing users
to control AV devices from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or even custom
web pages designed using Crestron VisionTools
®
Pro-e. With Crestron
e-Control 2 XPanel technology, Web pages have the same look and feel as TPS
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 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 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.
