Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems Setup Network Wiring When wiring the Cresnet or Ethernet 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).
Crestron CP3 & CP3N Rack Mounting 3-Series Control Systems The CP3 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two “ears” are provided with the CP3 so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting Use Cover Screws 4. Stacking Repeat procedure (steps 1 through 3) to attach the remaining ear to the opposite side. Four “feet” are provided with the CP3 so that if the unit is not rack mounted, the rubber feet can provide stability when the unit is placed on a flat surface or stacked. These feet should be attached prior to the hookup procedure. Refer to the following illustration for placement of the feet.

3-Series Control Systems Crestron CP3 & CP3N NOTE: The CP3 can be powered by the 4-position terminal block connector labeled NET or with the (included) 24 Vdc power pack. Control Subnet (CP3N Only) The CP3N has a dedicated Control Subnet that is used for communication between the control system and Crestron Ethernet devices. This subnet allows for dedicated communication between the control system and Crestron Ethernet devices without interferences from other network traffic on the LAN.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems Additional Configuration The CP3 can be configured from a Web browser. For details, refer to “Online Configuration” on page 21. Operations Guide – DOC.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems 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. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (or device).
Crestron CP3 & CP3N TCP/IP 3-Series Control Systems Ethernet Communication The CP3 connects to PC via Ethernet: 1. Confirm Ethernet connection between CP3 and PC. If connecting through a hub or router, 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 or router. 2. Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to detect all Ethernet devices on the network and their IP configuration.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems Programs and Firmware Program or firmware files may be distributed from programmers to installers or from Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron Web site as new features are developed after product releases. One has the option to upload programs via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems Configure for Operations Before setting up the CP3 the time and time zone needs to be set. The CP3 can also be further configured using a Web browser. Set Date & Time 1. Establish communication with the CP3 as described in “Establishing Communication” on page 18. 2. In Crestron Toolbox, select Functions | System Clock…. 3. Set the date and time. Online Configuration The CP3 can be configured using the built-in Web based setup tool. 1.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems “CP3 Setup” Menu The “CP3 Setup” menu displays the IP address, hostname and MAC address of the device. It also allows access to various setup and programming screens. The “CP3 Setup” menu contains buttons for Ethernet Setup, Application Setup, Input/Output Control, Diagnostics, and About, as shown in the illustration above.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems 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. CP3 Troubleshooting TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION Device is not communicating with the network. Use Crestron Toolbox to poll the network. Verify network connection to the device. Device is not receiving power from a Crestron power source.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems CP3 Troubleshooting (Continued) TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) A/V system device does not respond. CORRECTIVE ACTION IRP2 or serial port not placed properly. Verify placement of IRP2 (hold phosphor card under IRP2 while pressing button) and tighten serial cables. Used wrong IR/serial port. Verify that proper IR or serial port is defined. Serial cable not wired correctly. Verify that serial cable is wired correctly for RS-232, 422, 485.
Crestron CP3 & CP3N 3-Series Control Systems chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
