6 • XM Satellite Radio Tuner: C2N-TXM Operations Guide - DOC. 6234A

Crestron C2N-TXM XM Satellite Radio Tuner

Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture, the C2N-TXM 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) these devices may not cause harmful interference, and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Setup

Network Wiring

CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, should be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. 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

NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate for your specific system configuration, available from the Crestron website.

When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The length of the run in feet and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.

Resistance Equation

Where:

R <

Operations Guide - DOC. 6234A XM Satellite Radio Tuner: C2N-TXM • 7

L x P

40,000

R = Resistance (refer to the following table). L = Length of run (or chain) in feet. P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).

XM Satellite Radio Tuner Crestron C2N-TXM

The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.

Wire Gauge Values

RESISTANCE WIRE GAUGE

4 16

6 18

10 20

15 22

13 Doubled CAT5

8.7 Tripled CAT5

NOTE: All Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.

NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

Refer to the note on page 28 for a definition of Viewport.

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 22 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.

The Net ID of the C2N-TXM has been factory set to 55. The Net IDs of multiple C2N-TXMs in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Viewport.

NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and control system, refer to “Communication Settings” on page 29. If communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the respective Operations Guide for the control system.

There are two different methods—Method A or Method B—for setting the C2N-TXM Net IDs:

Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID), described on the next page, applies to C2N-TXMs in a Cresnet system with a CNX control system or with a 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version prior to 3.008, but can be used with later versions of firmware and requires that a single unit be the only network device connected to the control system.

Method B (Touch Settable IDs), which begins on the next page, applies to C2N-TXMs in a Cresnet system with 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version 3.029 or later. These upgrades enable Touch Settable ID (TSID) functionality, which makes it possible for the control system to recognize a network

7. In the "Command Complete" window, click OK.

8. In the Current Network Devices text window, verify the new Net ID code.

9. In the "Set Network ID" window, click Close.

NOTE: The new Net ID code may also be verified by selecting Diagnostic | Report Network Devices in the Viewport (alternately, select F4).

10. Repeat this procedure for each C2N-TXM to be added to the system.

Method B (Touch Settable IDs)

Before using this method, you should have a list of all current network devices and their Net IDs, to avoid assigning duplicate IDs.

Set Net ID by TSID

These procedures are for TSID-enabled network devices during the initial configuration of a Cresnet system or when such devices are being added/replaced.

1. Ensure that all C2N-TXMs are connected to the control system.

2. Open the Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.

3. From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Assign Cresnet ID by Serial Number. The “Set Net ID by TSID” window appears. The window is first displayed with the data fields empty. (Refer to the figure on the next page.)

XM Satellite Radio Tuner Crestron C2N-TXM

“Set Net ID by TSID” Window

4. Click on the Search for Touch Settable Devices button. The system searches the network and lists all TSID-enabled devices found. The list is similar to the report produced by pressing F4 (Report Network Devices); the first eight digits of each line constitute the TSID number (hexadecimal form of the serial number).

5. As you enter either the serial number or TSID number of the device that requires a change, the corresponding TSID or serial number automatically appears in its appropriate field, and the list scrolls to and highlights the device listing. The listing should show the device’s current Cresnet ID.

6. Enter the Cresnet ID that the device should be set to and click OK. The number you enter should appear on the list.

CAUTION: This function does not prevent you from setting duplicate IDs. Be sure to check current assignments before entering the desired Cresnet ID number.

Serial Number to TSID Conversion

This utility is useful in a case where there are multiple devices of the same type on a network, you need to locate a particular one, you know the TSID but not the serial number, and your site installation list is based on device serial numbers. In this (or the reverse) situation, do the following:

1. Open the Crestron Viewport.

2. From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Serial Number ÅÆ TSID Conversion Tool. The “Serial Number ÅÆTSID Conversion Tool” window is displayed. (Refer to the figure on the next page.)

Uploading and Upgrading

NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. Please check the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/updates versions of software and firmware. New users are required to register to obtain access to this site.

Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport.

NOTE: The Crestron Viewport is available as a pull-down command from SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e (Tools | Viewport) or as a standalone utility. The Viewport utility accomplishes multiple system tasks, primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to observe system

) for the latest

Crestron C2N-TXM XM Satellite Radio Tuner

processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change system and network parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal emulator for generic file transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in the Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool, the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading programs and projects.

The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program or upgrade the firmware of the C2N-TXM. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.

Communication Settings

NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices with good results:

Belkin (large model) F5U103 I/O Gear GUC232A (discontinued) Keyspan USA-19QW (discontinued)

Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same results.

The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication between the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, consult the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) or the respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are available from the Crestron website. Refer to the following figure for a typical connection diagram when uploading files.
