NOTE:
All network wiring must consist of two twisted-pairs. One twisted pair is the
+24V conductor and the GND conductor; the other twisted pair is the Y conductor
and the Z conductor.
NOTE:
When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three network conductors.
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The
Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows
program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 49 for details of
the SIMPL Windows procedure.
Refer to the note on page 55 for
a definition of Viewport.
The Net ID of the C2N-DAP8RC has been factory set to
50
. The Net IDs of
multiple C2N-DAP8RCs in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed
from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE
: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to “Communication Settings” on page 55. If communication
cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the
respective Operations Guide for the control system.
There are two different methods for setting the C2N-DAP8RC Net IDs:
Method A
(Cresnet address-settable ID), described below, requires that a single unit
be the only network device connected to the control system. This method is
necessary with a 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version prior to 3.008.
It is optional with later versions of the operating system.
Method B
(Touch-Settable IDs), which begins on page 13, applies to C2N-
DAP8RCs in a Cresnet system with 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ)
version 3.029 or later. These upgrades enable Touch-Settable ID (TSID)
functionality, which makes it possible for the control system to recognize a network
device via its serial number, which is stored in the device’s memory. This method
does not require that any devices be disconnected from the network; Net IDs may be
set with the entire Cresnet system intact. This method requires the use of the
Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.
Use the appropriate method to set the C2N-DAP8RC Net ID.
