Crestron C2N-IRGW-1G IR Gateway/Receiver
NOTE: Typically, codes used by Magnavox, Marantz and Philips audio/video
equipment utilize RC5 codes for transmission. Some codes used by Sharp
Electronics Corporation are also usable.
Universal remotes require two
multi-step procedures for setup.
Some devices from Magnavox, Marantz and Philips are designed to understand
certain kinds of infrared signals sent by remote controls, specifically, signals
belonging to the RC5 code set. Two procedures are required to setup a universal
remote. The first procedure verifies that the universal remote chosen does transmit
an identifiable code and therefore can communicate with the Crestron control
system. The second procedure maps the buttons on the universal remote so that they
can be used in the SIMPL Windows program.
Code Verification
Each universal remote comes with its own manual, which lists codes by device and
manufacturer. The purpose of this procedure is to select and program a code into the
universal remote so that it can communicate with the Crestron control system. All
that is required to complete this procedure is the C2N-IRGW-1G, a PC running the
Crestron Toolbox, a Crestron control system connected to the PC and any universal
remote (complete with batteries and manufacturer's manual). The control system
should be running a valid SIMPL Windows program that includes the
C2N-IRGW-1G at the proper Net ID so that it can be polled.
1. Using Cresnet cable, attach the C2N-IRGW-1G to the Crestron control
system (NET port). Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 5 for details.
2. Open the Crestron Toolbox.
3. Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon).
4. From the Toolbox menu, select Functions | Identify Transmitter. The
software checks the baud rate and then opens the “Identify Transmitter”
window, as shown after this step.
“Identify Transmitter” Window
5. Point the universal remote at the C2N-IRGW-1G and program the
remote with an RC5 code (some Sharp codes are acceptable as well) as
outlined in the manufacturer's manual.
