Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Ethernet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
Unlike other Crestron network devices, the HD-XSP does not use Cresnet
®
for
communications between the device and the control system. The HD-XSP requires
the use of a high-speed Ethernet connection for control system communications.
For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to
the latest version of the Crestron e-Control
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available from the Crestron Web site (
www.crestron.com/manuals).
Identity Code
The IP ID is set within the HD-XSP’s IP table using Crestron Toolbox™. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple HD-XSP devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the Crestron
Studio™ or SIMPL Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
Installation
Ventilation
The HD-XSP should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not
be obstructed under any circumstances.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using
forced air ventilation or incrementing the spacing between units to reduce
overheating. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides
of the unit.
Rack Mounting
The HD-XSP can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two “ears”
are provided with the HD-XSP so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must
be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears
to the unit. The only tool required is a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, observe the following guidelines:
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
