Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS Programming Software Refer to this section only if a custom program for the AADS is to be created. A built-in program containing the out-of-the-box functionality resides in a protected area of the AADS’ flash memory. The program cannot be erased and can be recalled at any time by holding the software reset button during a hardware reset. The built-in-program cannot be modified using the tools described in this section.
Crestron Adagio™ AADS Audio Distribution System download Adagio Composer from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file. To create more advanced systems that include non-audio distribution devices such as lighting and HVAC, use Crestron SystemBuilder or SIMPL Windows. Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder Crestron SystemBuilder is the easiest method of programming, but does not offer as much flexibility as SIMPL Windows.
Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS Signals that are part of the AADS’ out-of-the-box functionality are locked and cannot be modified or deleted. Locked signals are grayed out in the AADS’ SIMPL Windows symbols. To prevent corruption of the out-of-the-box functionality, locked signal names should not be copied or driven to other destinations in the SIMPL Windows program. The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View.
Crestron Adagio™ AADS Audio Distribution System Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communication. Establishing Communication Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the AADS; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS • Confirm Ethernet connections between the AADS and PC. If connecting through a hub, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. Alternatively, Use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports directly, without using a hub. • Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the AADS with the AADS’ TCP/IP communication parameters. • icon) and select the Display the “System Info” window (click the AADS entry.
Crestron Adagio™ AADS Audio Distribution System Problem Solving Troubleshooting The following table provides corrective action for possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative. AADS Troubleshooting TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION AADS does not function. AADS is not receiving power. Use the provided power cord. Verify connection. C2N-DBF12 or APAD does not function.
Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS AADS Troubleshooting (continued) TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) Sound is not heard. CORRECTIVE ACTION Room is muted or turned off. Turn off mute function or route a source to the room. Volume is turned down. Raise volume to an audible level. Speakers are not properly connected. Verify speaker connections.

Crestron Adagio™ AADS Audio Distribution System the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors. Add Hubs For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS Appendix: RDS/RBDS Function Support Many radio stations transmit additional information, such as traffic information, radio text, real time clock etc., with their regular FM programming. The FM tuner contains circuitry that retrieves this information. The US format for such information is called the Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS), and in Europe this format is called the Radio Data System (RDS).
