Crestron STRFGWX Two-Way RF Transceiver
2 The location of the STRFGWX and the orientation of the antenna are important
factors in the RF performance. Locate the unit outside of any metal enclosures and
position the antenna horizontally, pointing straight out of the unit. Adjust the
antenna to achieve the best range. The range of the unit is also dependent on its
placement and the construction of the building in which it is used.
Installers can run multiple STRFGWX units, which have built-in intelligence so that
if both (or several) gateways receive a button press from the touchpanel, only the
strongest signals produce an action in the control system. Crestron recommends that
the latest firmware be loaded into the STRFGWX and associated touchpanel(s). If
the firmware of the STRFGWX is upgraded, the associated touchpanel(s) must also
be upgraded at the same time.
3 The latest software version can be obtained from the What’s New page (SIMPL
Windows and Crestron Database sections) or Downloads page (SIMPLWIN and
CRESDB Libraries) of Crestron’s website.
4 STRFGWXs and touchpanels with later versions of firmware may include features
not mentioned in this guide. Newer versions of this guide can be obtained from the
Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of Crestron’s website.
5 To utilize firmware upgrade files, a STRFGWX with a firmware version earlier than
1.5.0 must be returned to Crestron. The upgrade files can be obtained from the
What’s New page (Touchpanels section) or the Downloads page (TOUCHPNL and
UPGRADES Libraries) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com)
. New users are
required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site. Crestron recommends
that the latest firmware be loaded into the STRFGWX and associated touchpanel(s).
If the firmware of the STRFGWX is upgraded, the associated touchpanel(s) must
also be upgraded at the same time.
6 CNX update files are required for either CNMSX-AV/Pro or CNRACKX/-DP.
Filenames for CNX update files have a UPZ extension and SmarTouch files are in
one EXE or zipped UPZ file. All can be obtained from the What’s New page
(Control Systems Update Files section) or Downloads page (OPSYS Library) of
Crestron’s website.
7 The weight listed is for the STRFGWX and does not include 4-pin connector plug or
external power pack.
