Telephone Interface Module Crestron CEN-TIA
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the 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
(
http://www.crestron.com/calculators).
• For larger networks, Use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain
signal quality
For more details, refer to “
Check Network Wiring” on page 24.
The CEN-TIA uses Cresnet, USB and high-speed Ethernet for programmatic
interface with Crestron’s Toolbox application. Please refer to the Toolbox help file.
NOTE: The CEN-TIA is shipped with DHCP enabled (no default IP address). If it is
desirable to manually set the IP address of the CEN-TIA (DHCP disabled) by using
the Text Console in Toolbox. Refer to the Toolbox help file for further details.
NOTE: The CEN-TIA can only be set up with the CEN-TIA Menu Builder tool that
is included in Toolbox version 1.04.13 and later.
NOTE: The Ethernet port on the CEN-TIA does not support Voice Over IP (VOIP).
Identity Code
The Net ID of the CEN-TIA has been factory set to 49. The Net IDs of multiple
CEN-TIA devices in the same system must be unique if they are connected to the
same Cresnet. Net IDs are changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron
Toolbox. When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
