Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System Programming Software Refer to this section only if a custom program for the AES is to be created. A built-in program containing the out-of-the-box functionality resides in a protected area of the AES’ flash memory. The program cannot be erased and can be recalled at any time by holding the software reset button during a hardware reset. The built-in-program cannot be modified using the tools described in this section.
Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES Adagio Composer provides a quick method of configuring a custom audio distribution system without prior programming knowledge. For additional details, download Adagio Composer from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file. To create more advanced systems that include non-audio distribution devices such as lighting and HVAC, use Crestron SystemBuilder or SIMPL Windows.
Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System Locating the AES in the Device Library Programming Manager Programming Manager is the view where programmers "program" a Crestron control system by assigning signals to symbols. Signals that are part of the AES’ out-of-the-box functionality are locked and cannot be modified or deleted. Locked signals are grayed out in the AES’ SIMPL Windows symbols.
Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES 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. Establishing Communication Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the AES; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
Crestron Adagio™ AES TCP/IP Communication Entertainment System NOTE: A connection to an Ethernet network is required for operation with a CEN-IDOC, AAS, or any other TCP/IP enabled device. Ethernet Communication PC RUNNING CRESTRON TOOLBOX ETHERNET AES • Establish direct serial communications between the AES and PC. • Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the AES via Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable DHCP.

If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative. AES Troubleshooting TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION AES does not function. AES is not receiving power. Use the provided power cord. Verify connection. C2N-DBF12 or APAD does not function.
Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System AES Troubleshooting (Continued) TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) Sound is not heard. CORRECTIVE ACTION Room is muted or turned off. Turn off mute function or route a source to the room. Volume is turned down. Raise volume to an audible level. Speakers are not properly connected. Verify speaker connections. Source is not selected/properly connected. Verify that source is selected and properly connected.
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.
