Cresnet ID

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code
(NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number from 03 to FE.
The NET ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the Simpl Windows program.

Use the following method’s to change NET ID of the CH-HREL8-D6.
Method A: (Viewport)

1. Ensure that the CH-HREL8-D6 is connected to the control system.

2. Open the Crestron viewport and connect to the control system (RS-232 or IP)

3. From the viewport menu, select Functions -> Set network ID.
The software checks the network and then opens the “Set Network ID” window.

4. In the “Set Network ID” window, select the CNMW-LT9 from the current network
devices text window (Figure 5).

5. Select the new NET ID for the CH-HREL8-D6 from the choose the new network ID
for the selected device (HEX): text box.

6. Click the Set ID to initiate the change. This will display the “ID command has been
set” window.

7. In the “Command complete” window, click OK.

8. In the current network devices text window, verify the net NET ID code.

9. In the “Set network ID” window, click close.

The CNWM-LT9 symbol has 9 digital press and 9 fb (feedback) signals (Figure 9).

Figure 9: CNMW-LT9 symbol

*The first 8 fb signals (fb1-fb8) represent the 8 relays of the CH-HREL8-D6
The press signals (press1 – press9) are not used by the CH-HREL8-D6.

Example Program

Control a relay

This basic example illustrates how the first relay of a CH-HREL8-D6 can be controlled via
a single press on a button located on a touchpanel or keypad. The toggle symbols keeps
the relay open or closed (Figure 10).
