Introduction
Features and Functions
The RACK2 is an integral part of the Crestron
®
2-Series generation of control
system technology featuring the newest series of Ethernet/LAN compatible control
systems. The RACK2 is a modular “card cage” control system that includes the
CPU2 (central processing unit) and the NET2 (Cresnet
®
communications hub). The
RACK2 offers the ultimate in flexibility and customization. Sixteen expansion cards
may be added to the RACK2. The variety of available 2-Series and X-Generation
