Configuring the System
The way systems are “built” is by dragging hardware from the
Device Library
and
dropping it into
Network Systems View
. Start with a control system and add the
necessary devices. The system devices should be identified in the design
specification or the Device List from the Programming Design Kit. Refer to the
Crestron ControlCD for compatibility and specifications.
Selecting Hardware
Locate the necessary hardware by opening the folder that contains the component.
Open the folder by clicking on the plus (+) sign. Highlight the device you want by
clicking on it. Drag it to the
Network System View
area by holding down the left
mouse button while dragging the device. Release the mouse button to drop the
device.
Selecting Control System
Once a control system is chosen it will always be displayed in the
Network System
View
. The next step is to add the other devices that comprise the system such as
network devices and additional plug-in cards. Macros for controlling hundreds of
different pieces of equipment are available in the User Devices folder under Crestron
Database. Crestron continually updates this database to include the latest macros.
