Network Wiring

When wiring the Ethernet network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• Provide sufficient power to the system.

Unlike other Crestron network devices, the CEN-IDOCV does not use Cresnet

for

communications between the device and the control system. The CEN-IDOCV

requires the use of a high-speed Ethernet connection for control system and PC

communications.

For 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 for download from the Crestron website (

www.crestron.com/manuals).

CAT5 Wiring

Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks.

These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using the

100BASE-T standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of

audio and video applications.

Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or CresCAT-D) wire for transmitting

video signals from the CH port.

When using a Crestron wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or CresCAT-D) wire can

carry audio and video signals up to 500 feet (152 m) (observe distance limitations

based upon power consumption for the device in use).

For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring

Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available for download from the Crestron

website.

Identity Code

The IP ID is set within the CEN-IDOCV’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-IDOCV 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 SIMPL™

Windows program.

• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a

unique IP ID.
