FlipTop Control Center with Cresnet® Crestron C2N-FTB Controls and Ports (Top) Buttons The C2N-FTB can have 10 to 20 engravable, replaceable, programmable buttons. All buttons are functionally identical and have light emitting diodes (LEDs) that serve as user feedback indicators. The illumination of each LED (on/off) is independently addressable, and programmable using SIMPL Windows.
FlipTop Control Center with Cresnet® Crestron C2N-FTB Indicators PWR (Power) This LED illuminates when 24 volts DC is supplied to the C2N-FTB from Cresnet. NET This LED illuminates when communication between the control system and the C2N-FTB is established (the unit is polled on the network). Illumination indicates that the SIMPL Windows program currently loaded has a network device defined at the same Net ID as the C2N-FTB.
FlipTop Control Center with Cresnet® Crestron C2N-FTB CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty. NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate for your specific system configuration, available from the Crestron website.
FlipTop Control Center with Cresnet® Crestron C2N-FTB Identity Code Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 20 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure Refer to the note on page 23 for a definition of Viewport.
FlipTop Control Center with Cresnet® Crestron C2N-FTB NOTE: The new Net ID code may also be verified by selecting Diagnostic | Report Network Devices in the Viewport (alternately, select F4). 10. Repeat this procedure for each additional network device requiring a Net ID change. Method B (Touch Settable ID) Before using this method, you should have a list of all current network devices and their Net IDs, to avoid assigning duplicate IDs.
FlipTop Control Center with Cresnet® Crestron C2N-FTB CAUTION: This function does not prevent you from setting duplicate IDs. Be sure to check current assignments before entering the desired Cresnet ID number. Serial Number to TSID Conversion This utility is useful in a case where there are multiple devices of the same type on a network, you need to locate a particular one, you know the TSID but not the serial number, and your site installation list is based on device serial numbers.
