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.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how
much power is needed for the system (
www.crestron.com/calculators).
For Cresnet 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 43.
The CEN-RGBHVHB can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications
between the device and a control system.
For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to
the latest version of the Crestron e-Control

Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available from the Crestron Web site (
www.crestron.com/manuals).
Identity Code
NOTE: The latest software can be downloaded from the Crestron Web site
(www.crestron.com/software).
Net ID
The Net ID of the CEN-RGBHVHB has been factory set to 33. The Net IDs of
multiple CEN-RGBHVHB devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are
changed from a personal computer (PC) via Crestron Toolbox (refer to “Establishing
Communication” which starts on page 18).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the Crestron
Studio or 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 CEN-RGBHVHB’s IP table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple CEN-RGBHVHB 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 Crestron Studio
or SIMPL Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
