CP4/CP4N
4-Series Control System
The Crestron® CP4 and CP4N are secure, high-performance control
processors with a powerful 4-Series control engine. The CP4 and
CP4Nare designed to integrate and automate technology within any
modern networked home, commercial building, or government facility. An
isolated control subnet port provides a Gigabit Ethernet LANdedicated to
Crestron devices (CP4NOnly).
NOTE:TheCP4 and CP4N are functionally similar. For simplicity within
this guide, the term "control system"is used to refer to both the CP4
and CP4Nunless otherwise noted.

Connect the Device
Make all necessary connections to the control system as shown below.
QuickStart
Observe the following when connecting the control system:
l Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
l The control system may be powered with the included 24 VDC power
supply or via Cresnet® network power with the NET port.
l Connect the chassis ground lug to a known earth ground circuit (such
as building steel) to ensure that the control system is grounded
properly.
l Apply power after all connections have been made.

transmission). RXD- and TXD- should idle low (going high at start of data
transmission). If necessary, RXD+/RXD- and TXD+/TXD- may be swapped to maintain
correct signal levels.
