Cresnet Interface Menu

CRESNET ID is a two-digit hexadecimal number that can range from 03 to FE. Note

that if the panel is to be used in a wired mode, this number and the Net ID set in the

SIMPL Windows program of the Cresnet system must match. Net ID for the

STX-1700CXP is factory set to 03.

The UP and DOWN buttons increase and decrease the CRESNET ID by one digit

(i.e., 03, 04, 05, . . .FE).

Select the Return button to return to the SELECT INTERFACE menu.

RF Setup

The RF ID identifies the gateway port that the touchpanel will use for

communication. The RF ID consists of a one-digit hexadecimal number. The

touchpanel can be set to one of fifteen numbers; “1” is shown as an example in the

illustration and is the default. This means that up to fifteen touchpanels can

communicate with a given gateway. The UP and DOWN buttons increase/decrease

the RF ID by one, respectively (i.e., 1, 2, 3, …F).

The radio frequency channel setting (RF CHANNEL) identifies the particular

TPS-RFGWX gateway used for communication with the touchpanel. (Up to sixteen

TPS-RFGWX gateways can exist in a SIMPL program.) The RF CHANNEL setting

consists of a one-digit hexadecimal number; “0” is shown as an example in the

illustration on the left and is the default. The UP and DOWN buttons increase and

decrease the RF CHANNEL by one, respectively (i.e., 1, 2, 3, …F). Refer to the

latest revision of the TPS-RFGWX Operation Guide (Doc. 5847) for more

information on setting up the RF CHANNEL for the RF gateway.

Press the ADDITIONAL SETUP button to display the ADDITIONAL RF SETUP

screen. In situations where two or more touchpanels are in close proximity and could

conflict with each other, press the SET LOW POWER button to reduce the

touchpanel’s power and minimize the possibility of interference. The factory default

setting is SET HIGH POWER.

Use the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons to choose the desired frequency band. The

choices correspond with the names shown in the following table. The table shows

the 802.11b channels within each band that are occupied by the STX-1700CXP.

Selection of a band is based on a number of factors, including the need to avoid

interference with nearby RF devices, and compliance with local communication

laws. In the US, Crestron recommends using Bands 5 (USA comp 1) through 9

(USA comp 5). Bands 1 through 4 (France, Spain, Japan, and Canada) are intended

for use in Cresnet systems outside the US. The default setting is Band 0, USA

(original), which is not Wi-Fi friendly. At this setting, the touchpanel can

communicate with a TPS-RFGWX gateway whether it is Wi-Fi friendly or not, since

Band 0 is the default for both versions of the gateway. Note that the touchpanel and

gateway must be set to the same band in order to communicate.
