NOTE: The actual configuration of the output cards are specified during ordering.

For details on output connections, refer to “Output Connections” on page 82.

NOTE: Ensure the unit is properly grounded by connecting the chassis ground lug

to an earth ground (building steel).

NOTE: For optimum performance, Crestron strongly recommends using DM cable

or CresFiber, available from Crestron. Other high-quality fiber optic cable (such as

InfiniCor300) may also be used with varying performance.

NOTE: When using fiber, it is recommended that you have at least two spare fibers

for each location. DM fiber components use SC multimode connectors.

DMNet Power

Devices connected to each DMNet port can receive power from the DM switcher’s

internal power supply or from an external power supply such as the C2N-SPWS300.

The DMNet ports are preconfigured for operation using the DM switcher’s internal

power supply.

To power a DMNet port externally from a Cresnet 24 VDC power supply, connect

the power supply to the E (External) and G (Ground) pins on the EIG connector as

shown in the following diagram.

Power Supply

To power a DMNet port using the DM switcher’s internal power supply, install a

jumper on the EIG connector from the E (External) pin to the I (Internal) pin as

shown in the following diagram.

Label the Buttons

Use Crestron Engraver software to print custom labels for the DM switcher’s front

panel buttons and LEDS. Crestron recommends printing on 100-pound paper. Paper

with a weight less than 100 pounds will tend to crumple while sliding in, while paper

with a weight of more than 100 pounds may not fit.
