NOTE: For additional information on audio connections over CAT5, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137) which is
available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals
).
SIG A, B
This two-pin terminal block connector is used for testing signal strength during
antenna installation. Refer to “Antenna Installation” on page 12 for details.
AUDIO OUT DIGITAL
This RCA connector provides S/PDIF coaxial digital stereo output for a local
surround-sound processor such as the C2N-DAP8 or C2N-DAP8RC.
AUDIO OUT L, R
These two RCA connectors provide analog stereo output for local amplifiers.
XM ANT
This RF SMB connector is for the supplied XM antenna cable.
G (Chassis Ground)
Use this chassis screw to ground the unit to the amplifier and audio source common
grounds.
(Headphone)
The only connection on the front panel of the XM Tuner is the mini-phone jack,
which permits the use of headphones to monitor the audio signal. The volume mode,
selected by the MODE switch, allows adjustment of the volume to the headphones.
Note that plugging in headphones does not interrupt the unit’s other audio output
signals.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Five LED indicators, a three-digit display, and three pushbutton switches are located
on the front panel of the C2N-TXM. Refer to the illustration and descriptions that
follow.
C2N-TXM Front Panel Controls and Indicators
PWR (Power)
This green LED illuminates when power is supplied to the C2N-TXM.
NET
This yellow LED illuminates when communication between the control system and
the C2N-TXM is established (the unit is polled on the network). Illumination
indicates that the program currently loaded has a network device defined at the same
ID as the C2N-TXM. The LED flashes or remains on when communication with the
processor occurs.
MODE Switch,
Use the MODE switch to select between the signal, volume, and channel modes. The
corresponding red LEDs (SIG, VOL, and CH) illuminate as each mode is selected. In
each mode, the three-digit display shows the appropriate values. In the channel mode,
the up/down buttons let you sequence through the available channels; the three-digit
display shows the channel numbers. In the volume mode, the up/down buttons select
ten volume levels (0 through 9) for the signal supplied to the headphone jack. In the
signal mode, the display shows an initial letter (Satellite, or repeater) to indicate the
signal source, plus two numeric digits (00 – 99) to indicate the signal strength.
KJ
(Up/Down) Buttons, and Display
SIG, VOL, CH
These red LEDs illuminate in turn when the MODE switch selects the respective
signal, volume, and channel modes.
SETUP LED and Pushbutton
The C2N-TXM is Touch Settable ID (TSID) ready. The SETUP pushbutton and its
associated LED are located on the rear panel and are used for setup of the unit’s
network ID during the initial configuration of a Cresnet system or when the device is
being added/replaced. Refer to “Method B (Touch Settable IDs)” on page 9 for
detailed information.

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 <

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
