CNX Enhanced Ethernet Expansion Card: CNXENET+

Description

Functional Description

The CNX Enhanced Ethernet Expansion Card, CNXENET+, is an optional feature
designed specifically for Crestron’s CNMSX and CNRACKX control systems. This
field-upgradable expansion card connects directly to Crestron’s exclusive Direct
Processor Access (DPA) slot providing high-speed access directly to the system
processor. The CNXENET+ provides communication via Ethernet/local area
network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) to any Crestron Internet protocol (IP)
control device. This allows remote diagnostics and upgrades, access to Crestron’s
network analyzer, and the ability to activate any device connected to the system.
As part of Crestron e-Control™, the CNXENET+ allows Internet connections to the
control system. The CNXENET+ contains a 2Mbyte file system that can be used as a
web server. Browser pages generated in VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e) are stored
onboard and up to five users can simultaneously connect directly to the control
system. Systems can be accessed through the World Wide Web using industry
browsers such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer™ or Netscape® Navigator. For a
Crestron e-Control demonstration, go to www.crestron-econtrol.com
Further information and additional Crestron e-Control software can be obtained from
the What’s New page (e-Control section) or Downloads page (ECONTROL Library)
of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com)
order to obtain access to the FTP site.

Physical Description

The CNXENET+, shown on the next page, is an expansion card that occupies the
DPA slot and connects directly to the control system’s processor. There are two
connectors located on the CNXENET+. An 8-wire RJ45 port for LAN connection is
available externally through the control system rear-panel or the CNX Control
Processor Card (CNXCPU) faceplate of the CNRACKX. Internally, one 26-pin
connector mates with the control system processor board or the CNXCPU board.
Two mounting brackets keep the card in place.

CAUTION: The CNXENET+ and the control system contain electro-static discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Perform the following procedure while wearing a grounding strap that is properly grounded or on a grounded work station to avoid damaging the card and/or the control system.
CAUTION: Refer to the latest revision of the CNMSX Operations Guide (Doc.
8118) for proper turn-off and, if applicable, removal procedures. The latest software version can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT MANUALS, Hardware section) or Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
NOTE: The unit shown in this procedure is a CNMSX-AV. The procedure is identical for the CNMSX-PRO.
NOTE: It is assumed that the control system rack ear brackets are not attached during this installation procedure.
1. As shown on the next page, place the control system right-side-up on a flat surface and using a #2 Phillips tip screwdriver, remove four screws
from the top of the unit.
