Industry Compliance
As of the date of manufacture, the C2N-IRGW-1G has been tested and found to
comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and
Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

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 16.
).
Identity Code
The Net ID of the C2N-IRGW-1G has been factory set to 2D. The Net IDs of
multiple C2N-IRGW-1G devices in the same system must be unique. 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.
Installation
When choosing a location for the C2N-IRGW-1G, consider how reception varies
with the angle of incidence of the signal from the transmitter (refer to illustrations on
the next page).
