Operation
NOTE: MLX-2 devices cannot be used on the same gateway as other
non-MLX-2 devices.
Operating
Channel
The operating channel of the CEN-RFGW-EX must be set prior to
operation using Crestron Toolbox. The CEN-RFGW-EX can operate on
one of 16 channels. The CEN-RFGW-
EX can operate on a fixed channel
that is set by the installer. The default RF channel is 15.
For optimum performance when installing a CEN-RFGW-EX in a Wi-Fi
environment, do not set the CEN-RFGW-EX to a channel within a Wi-Fi
channel band. Crestron recommends channel 15 or channel 20.
• Gateway channels 11-14 are within Wi-Fi channel 1 band.
• Gateway channel 15 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 1 and 6.
• Gateway channels 16-19 are within Wi-Fi channel 6 band.
• Gateway channel 20 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 6 and 11.
• Gateway channels 21-24 are within Wi-Fi channel 11 band.
• Gateway channel 25 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channel 11.
• Gateway channel 26 is neither within or adjacent to any Wi-Fi
band.
For detailed information on RF channels, refer to “Appendix A: The RF
Spectrum” on page 25.
After establishing communication with the CEN-RFGW-EX (refer to
“Establishing Communication” on page 15), use Crestron Toolbox to set
the operating channel.
RF Channel
Each gateway can communicate with up to 100 infiNET EX devices on
the same channel. Each device must have an RF channel assignment that
matches the RF channel assignment of the gateway.
There are 16 possible channels ranging from 11 to 26.
Setting RF channel is done from a PC via Crestron Toolbox. 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.
