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 26.
Identity Code
Net ID The Net IDs of the AV2 & PRO2 have been factory set to 02. This Net ID is defined
as the “Master” control system. The Net IDs of multiple AV2 & PRO2 devices in the
same system must be unique; this means there will be a master/slave relationship
between units (only the Net ID of the master will be left at 02). 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.
IP ID The IP ID is set within the AV2’s or PRO2’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
The IP IDs of multiple AV2 & PRO2 devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
Hardware Hookup
Ventilation The AV2 & PRO2 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should
not be obstructed under any circumstances. If the AV2 or PRO2 is hot to the touch,
consider using forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consideration
must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating
