Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the Cresnet 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. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate

how much power is needed for the system (

www.crestron.com/calculators).

For Cresnet networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater

(CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.

NOTE: If using Cresnet for communications between the SWAMP-24x8 and a

control system, only one expander can be connected.

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 46.

The SWAMP-24X8 can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between

the device and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based

devices.

For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to

the Crestron e-Control

Sonnex Link Wiring

Crestron recommends using Crestron DM-CBL-8G or high-quality CAT5e shielded

twisted-pair cable for connections between the SWAMP-24X8 and expanders.

NOTE: Shielded connectors such as the DM-8G-CONN must be used.

DM-CBL-8G wire can carry Sonnex Link signals up to 200 feet (61 meters). If

additional length is needed, the S-EXT1-S can extend the Sonnex link up to 2000

feet (610 meters) over one multimode fiber strand. The S-EXT1-S is an optional

accessory that provides high performance signal extension.

Identity Code

NOTE: The latest software can be downloaded at www.crestron.com/software.

Net ID

The Net ID of the SWAMP-24X8 has been factory set to A1. The Net IDs of

multiple SWAMP-24X8 devices in the same system must be unique. The Net ID can

be set from the SWAMP-24X8’s front panel or with Crestron Toolbox. For more

details, refer to “Set the Cresnet ID” on page 39 or the Crestron Toolbox help file.
