Crestron C2N-MNETGW infiNET™ Gateway/Transceiver
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two
twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND
conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z
conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires
carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the
wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted
connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid
tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned
connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw.
Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
NOTE: 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.
Crestron Toolbox
NOTE: The minimum version of Crestron Toolbox required to operate
with the C2N-MNETGW is version 1.02.06 or later.
The Crestron Toolbox (a replacement for Crestron Viewport) is a broad-
based software package that accomplishes multiple system tasks,
primarily using an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between a PC and one
or more Crestron control systems.
You can use the Crestron Toolbox to:
• Observe system processes.
• Upload operating systems and firmware.
• Upload programs and touchpanel projects.
• Set or change device Network IDs.
• Change serial numbers.
• Run scripts to automate tasks.
• Perform system diagnostics, and much more.
