Satellite Radio Tuner Crestron C2N-TXM
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page 17.
CAT5 Wiring
Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks.
These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using the
100BASE-T standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of
audio applications.
Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or D) wire for transmitting audio signals
from the AUDIO OUT port.
When using a Crestron wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can carry audio
signals up to 500 feet (152 meters) (observe distance limitations based upon power
consumption for the device in use).
For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring
Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available from the Crestron Web site
(
www.crestron.com/manuals).
Identity Code
The Net ID of the C2N-TXM has been factory set to 55. The Net IDs of multiple
C2N-TXM devices in the same system must be unique Net IDs are changed from a
personal computer (PC) via Crestron Toolbox (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 14).
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.
Installation
Four “feet” are preinstalled with the C2N-TXM so that if the unit is not rack
mounted, the feet can provide stability when the unit is placed on a flat surface or
stacked.
NOTE: No more than two C2N-TXM units should be stacked.
