Check Network Wiring

Use the
Right Wire

In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron
Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional
charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies
because of using improper wire.

Calculate
Power

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron
warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power
can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. The EIG
connector on the DM switcher is used to bring in external power.
Additional power is rarely required as switchers provide enough power
for most typical configurations. Please use the DMNet Power Calculator
to help calculate how much power is needed for the system
(

).
