Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES Industry Compliance This product is Listed to applicable UL Standards and requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (E302724) As of the date of manufacture, the AES has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System Setup Network Wiring When wiring the AAE Adagio Audio Expander, APAD controller, or C2N-DBF12 keypad to the AES, consider the following: • Use Crestron Certified Wire. • Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. • Provide sufficient power to the system. CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment.
Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES AES is powered. For example, if an ATC-AMFMXM card has been replaced with an ATC-AMFMSR card, the AES will retain the source names (i.e. AM, FM, XM, or custom) that were assigned to the ATC-AMFMXM card. To have the AES recognize the new cards and use the default source names (S1 AM/FM, S1 XM, etc.), restore the default settings as described on page 31.
Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System NOTE: The AESI (International version) requires a power cord that is harmonized to the country’s national and local electrical code. Each inner wire in the cord should be at least 16 AWG or (1.5 mm2) and rated for at least 500V.The temperature rating of the cord should be at least 60ºC. The cord length should be 1.5 meters to 2 meters.
Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES NOTE: The AES can only be powered by the included power cord. Power cannot be supplied from network devices that are connected to the mini-terminal block connectors. NOTE: The AESI (International version) requires a power cord that is harmonized to the country’s national and local electrical code. Each inner wire in the cord should be at least 16 AWG or (1.5 mm2) and rated for at least 500V.The temperature rating of the cord should be at least 60ºC.
Crestron Adagio™ AES AES Control Devices Entertainment System Any combination of six AES control devices such as the APAD or the C2N-DBF12 can be simultaneously connected to the powered NET ports located on the upper-left side of the rear panel. Refer to the following diagram and “Network Wiring” on page 17 for wiring information when connecting either APAD devices or C2N-DBF12 keypads.

Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs, or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
Entertainment System TCP/IP Communication Crestron Adagio™ AES • The USB port on the AES connects to the USB port on the PC via the included USB cable. • Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are connected, identify the AES by entering “AES” in the Model textbox, the unit’s serial number in the Serial textbox or the unit’s hostname in the Hostname textbox.
Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System SIMPL Windows If a SIMPL Windows program is provided, it can be uploaded to the control system using SIMPL Windows or Crestron Toolbox. Firmware Check the Crestron website to find the latest firmware. (New users may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site, including the FTP site.) Upgrade AES firmware via Crestron Toolbox. • Establish serial, USB, or TCP/IP communications with the AES and display the “System Info” window.

Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors. Add Hubs For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
