Crestron CEN-RFGW-EX infiNET EX™ Gateway
Acquiring the
infNET EX
device
Crestron infiNET EX devices can communicate with a CEN-RFGW-EX
only if they have been acquired by that CEN-RFGW-EX. The Acquire
mode can be activated from Crestron Toolbox (recommended) or with
the ACQUIRE button on the CEN-RFGW-EX.
NOTE: To access this in Toolbox, select Functions | infiNET EX
Gateway…. Refer to the Toolbox Help file and search for “infiNET EX
Gateway” for more details.
NOTE: Use Toolbox to set the RF channel before starting the acquire
process. The default RF channel is 15. If you change the RF channel on a
device, it will need to be acquired again.
NOTE: The Acquire mode can be activated approximately 15 seconds
after applying power to the CEN-RFGW-EX.
NOTE: In an environment with multiple gateways, only one gateway
should be in the Acquire mode at a time.
NOTE: The CEN-RFGW-EX must be placed in Acquire mode before an
infiNET EX device is placed in the Acquire mode.
To acquire an infiNET EX device via the ACQUIRE button on the
CEN-RFGW-EX:
1. Press ACQUIRE on the CEN-RFGW-EX to enter the Acquire
mode. The accompanying LED will illuminate, indicating the unit
is ready to link to infiNET EX devices.
NOTE: The Acquire mode will automatically deactivate after one
hour. This default timeout period can be changed from Toolbox.
2. Bring the infiNET EX device within range of the gateway and
place it in the Acquire mode as described in its manual. The device
will be automatically acquired by the gateway within two minutes
after it enters Acquire mode.
3. Repeat step 2 for each infiNET EX device to be acquired.
4. Press ACQUIRE on the CEN-RFGW-EX to exit the Acquire
mode. The LED will turn off.
