InfiNET EX™ Gateway Crestron CEN-RFGW-EX
Acquiring the
MLX-2
(or other
infNET EX
device)
MLX-2s and other 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 MLX-2 or other 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 MLX-2 or other 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 AQCUIRE on the CEN-RFGW-EX to exit the Acquire
mode. The LED will turn off.
