Intercom Interface Crestron C2N-IIF Identity Code All equipment and user interfaces within the network require 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 27 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure. Refer to the note on page 36 for a definition of Viewport. The Net ID of the C2N-IIF has been factory set to 19.

In this mode four of the digital inputs and four of the outputs are reserved to enable 4x4 matrix switching. This leaves two digital inputs and four switched outputs available for other purposes.
Crestron C2N-IIF Intercom Interface Device Extenders Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll Manager symbol is a device extender for the C2N-IIF. Poll Manager takes the C2N-IIF on and off line during polling by the control system. For additional information about Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included with SIMPL Windows.
Intercom Interface Crestron C2N-IIF the C2N-IIF directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files can be combined to create custom messages. NOTE: WAV files can be obtained from the Crestron FTP site (ftp.crestron.com/Wave LC/). Sound Manager Crestron VT Pro-e (version 2.1.0 and later) contains an audio tool, Sound Manager, which permits the panel designer to attach WAV files to a touchpanel project.
Crestron C2N-IIF Intercom Interface Sound Manager Guidelines There are two things to keep in mind when using Sound Manager. 1. Each WAV file must be assigned a unique digital join number. The join number options include none, or a number (13 for WAV file 1 through 42 for WAV file 30). The default is none. The other WAV files can be played by having the SIMPL Windows program assert the assigned join number. 2.
Intercom Interface Crestron C2N-IIF NOTE: When specifying a join, only join numbers 13 through 42 can be assigned to WAV files. Join number 13 corresponds to WAV1, join 14 corresponds to WAV2, etc. NOTE: To remove a WAV file from the Sound List table, highlight the file and click on the Remove button. The Properties button opens the “Sound Properties” window for a highlighted WAV file in the Sound List table.
Crestron C2N-IIF Intercom Interface The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program, a VT Pro-e project, or upgrade the firmware of the C2N-IIF. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications with the control system. Communication Settings NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-toserial adapters.
