Crestron C2N-IRGW-1G IR Gateway/Receiver
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
).
• For larger networks, Use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain
signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 16.
Identity Code
The Net ID of the C2N-IRGW-1G has been factory set to 2D. The Net IDs of
multiple C2N-IRGW-1G devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are
changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™. When setting
the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
Installation
When choosing a location for the C2N-IRGW-1G, consider how reception varies
with the angle of incidence of the signal from the transmitter (refer to illustrations on
the next page).
