The STX-1700C touchpanel uses three distinct types of identity (ID) codes for
recognition within a Cresnet system: Cresnet identity (Net ID), RF ID, and RF
CHANNEL. These codes are assigned to the touchpanel from the Cresnet Interface
Menu when the unit is configured. Refer to “Setup Menu” on page 8. For the
touchpanel to be identified within the Cresnet system, these assignments must match
assignments made in the SIMPL Windows project.
Net ID
Every equipment and user interface within the Cresnet system requires a unique Net
ID. These codes are two-digit hexadecimal number from 03 to FE. The Net ID of the
unit must match the Net ID specified in the SIMPL Windows program when
operating as a wired touchpanel (optional, recommended for testing). The Net ID is
used when the touchpanel is wired directly to the control system during uploading a
Crestron VisionTools® Pro-e (VT Pro-e) project or upgrading the touchpanel
firmware.
RF ID
Every STX-1700C touchpanel communicating with a Cresnet control system via a
STRFGWX requires a unique RF ID to secure RF communications. There are 15
useable codes for multiple touchpanel(s) ranging from 1 to F (hexadecimal number).
The RF ID of the unit must match the RF ID specified in the SIMPL Windows
program. For roaming details, refer to “Modifying a SIMPL Windows Project for
Roaming” on page 17.
RF CHANNEL
Each STX-1700C touchpanel communicating to the STRFGWX transceiver must
have a RF CHANNEL that matches the RF CHANNEL of the STRFGWX. There
are 16 possible RF CHANNELS ranging from 0 to F (hexadecimal number). Having
multiple channels available allows for multiple gateways, and therefore many
multiple touchpanels, to be used in a given project without signal interference.
NOTE: A single RF CHANNEL may be used by more than one STRFGWX when
multiple transceivers are used to expand the roaming capabilities of a touchpanel.
For more information, refer to the latest revision of STRFGWX Operations Guide
(Doc. 5811) available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals)

fifteen numbers; “1” is shown as an example in the illustration and is the default.
The RF ID setting should match the value assigned to the STX-1700C touchpanel
definition in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “C2Net-Device Slot in
Configuration Manager” on page 14 for information about SIMPL
programming/setup for this touchpanel.
The UP and DOWN buttons increase and decrease the RF ID most significant digit
by one, respectively (i.e., 1, 2, 3, …F).
The radio frequency channel setting (RF Channel) is necessary for two-way
communication between the touchpanel and the STRFGWX. The RF channel
consists of a one-digit hexadecimal number. “0” is shown as an example in the
illustration on the left and is the default. The down an up arrow buttons increase and
decrease the most significant digit by one, respectively (i.e., 1, 2, 3, …F). Refer to
the latest revision of the STRFGWX Operation Guide (Doc. 5811) for more
information on setting up the RF Channel for the RF gateway.

WARNING: To avoid shock hazard and possible damage to the unit, do not use
touchpanel in rain or expose it to unnecessary moisture.
Recommended Touchpanel Cleaning
Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could
degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the
surface that may detrimentally affect image quality.
For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Surrounding plastic enclosure
may not provide a complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the
cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid
ingress of moisture beneath panels.

You can create a program that allows you to set up the STX-1700C to operate a
Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron
SystemBuilder™ and SIMPL Windows. These tools are intended for users with
different levels of programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is
proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the
more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can initiate
programming using the easiest method (SystemBuilder) and use advanced
techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.

PRO2 System View
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
NOTE: The STX-1700C can operate as a wired panel when set correctly in the
SIMPL program. This is recommended to troubleshoot the program code and to
eliminate wireless/RF configuration issues before running the program in wireless
mode.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and
monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes an
STX-1700C.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree as shown below. This
tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications ports.
Expanded PRO2 System Tree
C2Net-Device Slot in Configuration Manager
To incorporate an STX-1700C into the system, a gateway device is required. The
C2Net-Device Slot can accept a gateway such as the STRFGWX. Once a gateway is
configured in a C2Net-Device Slot, the slot allows Cresnet communication between
the touchpanel and the control system.
In Configuration Manager, drag the STRFGWX gateway from the Wireless
Receivers (RF) folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper pane of the
System Views. The System Views upper pane displays the STRFGWX device icon
below the PRO2 graphic.
Drag the STX-1700C from the Touchpanels (Wireless | Wireless Two-Way) folder
of the Device Library and drop it on the STRFGWX symbol in System Views. The
PRO2 system tree displays the STRFGWX gateway in Slot 9, with a default Net ID
of 4F. The STRFGWX displays the touchpanel at the touchpanel’s default RF ID
location, “01,” as shown in the graphic below.
C2Net Device, Slot 9
Double-click the STRFGWX icon in the upper pane to open the “Device Settings”
window. This window displays STRFGWX device information. Select the Net ID
tab to change the gateway Net ID, as shown in the following graphic.
Similarly, expand the system tree in the lower pane and double-click the STX-1700C
icon to open the “Device Settings” window for the touchpanel. Select the RF/IR ID

STX-1700 Symbol in Programming Manager
Programming Manager is where programmers “program” a Crestron control system
by assigning signals to symbols. The following diagram shows the STX-1700C
symbol in the SIMPL Windows’ Programming Manager.
Detail View of the STX-1700C in SIMPL Windows’ Programming Manager
Signals interconnect the various devices and logic symbols that comprise a SIMPL
program. Signals can be one of three types: digital, analog, or serial. For any given
signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source. That is, if the symbol that
drives the signal has an analog output, then, by definition, the signal connected there
will be an analog signal.
In SIMPL Windows, the signal types are color-coded as follows:
Digital = Blue
Analog = Red
Serial = Black
Other = Green
NOTE: “Other” signals are a combination of the three basic types (e.g. many
symbols accept either analog or serial signals where the combination is shown as a
green signal). The signal type is displayed on the Status Bar when the signal is
highlighted.
For additional information, refer to Doc. 6120, Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol
Guide. It may be downloaded from the Crestron website.
Digital Signals
A digital signal contains one bit of information and usually takes on one of two
values: 1 or 0. These two digits can represent the logical values true and false, and
they can be represented in an electronic device by the states on/off or high/low,
recognized as two voltage levels. (Other common descriptors are active/inactive.)
Analog Signals
Unlike digital signals, analog signals can vary continuously in value, in the same
manner as a parameter such as volume, temperature, or pressure. Analog signals
contain 16 bits of information, which means that this type of signal can have values
ranging from 0 to 65535 (2
controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers,
pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers.
Serial Signals
Serial signals are much like analog signals, in that they, too, contain 16 bits of
information. However, whereas the value of an analog signal is used directly–to
control volume or temperature, for instance–the value of the serial signal is used as a
pointer to a location in memory that contains a string of characters. When a serial
signal is routed to a symbol, that symbol can identify the signal as serial rather than
analog and it will automatically look at the data to which it points.
Thus, serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of
characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a
symbol that has a serial output.

STX-1700C Input/Output Signals
The STX-1700C symbol provides up to 999 digital joins, up to 256 analog joins, and
up to 127 serial input joins. The programmer selects the signal types by clicking on
the appropriate button at the top of the Symbol Detail view when programming the
panel.
The tables below list functional descriptions for the touchpanel digital outputs and
inputs.

Device Extenders
Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll
Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels.
For the STX-1700C in wired mode only, the Poll Manager takes the touchpanel on
and off line during polling by the control system. In wireless mode, Sleep/Wake
Manager suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel. For additional
information about Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the Crestron
SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included with
SIMPL Windows.
Modifying a SIMPL Windows Project for Roaming
To implement roaming in a system that originally had two STX-1700Cs and one
gateway, you would need to add a STRFGWX RF gateway to your SIMPL Windows
project and add two STX-1700Cs under the new gateway in System Views. For
simplicity, in this example we assigned the original gateway a Cresnet ID of 03 and
the original touchpanels RF IDs of 01 and 02. To extend the range, we will assign
the new gateway a Cresnet ID of 04 and add two new touchpanel symbols in the
system. These touchpanels will have the same RF IDs (01 and 02) as the original
touchpanels mentioned above. Additionally, in Program View, you will need to
duplicate the logic for each touchpanel communicating with the original gateway and
paste it in the touchpanel symbol associated with the added gateway. For example,
the logic in the original STX-1700C symbol at RF ID 01 must be copied and pasted
in the new STX-1700C symbol at RF ID 01. The logic in the original STX-1700C
symbol at RF ID 02 must be copied and pasted in the new STX-1700C symbol at RF
ID 02. To do this for RF ID 01 (in Program View), place the arrow cursor on the
original touchpanel at RF ID 01. Right click and hold the mouse button to select RF
ID 01. Drag and drop this RF ID 01 selection on the new touchpanel at RF ID 01 and
release the mouse button (a pulldown menu appears). Select Copy All Signals/ Parameters from the pulldown menu.
Programming with VT Pro-e
Control screen variations incorporating two- and three-dimensional graphics and text
are possible and can be created with VT Pro-e, a design and programming
Windows
designed for each application. Each touchpanel can be organized with the ideal,
color-oriented control environment with custom control graphics: icons, two and
three-dimensional buttons, and floor plans. The project is uploaded to the
touchpanel’s flash PROM. The touchpanel uses the project until another is uploaded
from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control processor except when
uploading a project.

Optional Pushbuttons
If the optional ten “hard” pushbuttons are installed, you can use these buttons to
access any frequently used commands (refer to “Appendix B: Installation of
Optional Pushbuttons”). Each button has a permanently fixed digital join number;
refer to the illustration shown to the left. The sequence of digital join numbers is (top
to bottom) 1 through 5 on the left side and 6 through 10 on the right side.
NOTE: A user may not want the display to come on after a pushbutton is pressed
when the unit is off. The Startup Preference option allows the user to select whether
the touchpanel’s display comes on or stays off after a pushbutton is pressed. For
more information, refer to “Startup Preference” on page 10.
NOTE: To program a quick pushbutton to flip a page (change a screen) on the
STX-1700C, go to the Hard Keys tab of the “Project Properties” window in
VT Pro-e. Select a button from the Button drop-down list, and then select the desired
page from the Page Flip drop-down list. When the button is pressed, the page is
displayed.
The quick pushbuttons can also be programmed to do a page flip via SIMPL
Windows.
Reserved Join Numbers
A reserved join number is a feature of the software that enables a designer to create a
button that completes a predetermined function. The tables on the next page provide
lists of reserved join numbers available within the VT Pro-e software.
NOTE: Many touchpanel configuration “shortcuts” are available via the software.
A button can be created on a page that either calls up the Preferences Menu, adjusts
brightness, etc., via reserved join numbers.

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 utility performs 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 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 VT Pro-e project or upgrade
the firmware of the STX-1700C. 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:
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 figure on the next page for a typical
connection diagram when uploading files.
NOTE: Use a standard DB9 male to female “straight-through” cable.
Typical Connection Diagram when Uploading a Project from the PRO2 or equivalent
NOTE: If the control system in use has a 4-pin network connector rather than a
modular (RJ-11-type) NET connector, use an ST-CBL interface cable (sold
separately).
NOTE: To make a cable for either configuration, refer to the “Programming Cable
Specifications” diagram after these notes.
NOTE: An adapter such as a CN-RJ11 (sold separately) is required when using the
RJ-11 cable.
NOTE: The RJ-11 (part of ST-PK) and ST-CBL cables can also be found as part
numbers CNSP-585 and CNSP-586, respectively, in the Crestron cable database. The
database can be downloaded from the Crestron website.
NOTE: The procedure on the next page uses the ST-CBL.
1. Before making any connections to the touchpanel, verify that the
control system is properly connected to the PC (using an RS-232 DB9
straight-through cable, Crestron P/N CNSP-587) and powered on.
2. Attach the stereo connector end of the ST-CBL to the touchpanel.
3. Attach the network connector end of the ST-CBL to the connector
labeled NET on the control system.
4. Attach the appropriate external power pack or equivalent to touchpanel
and plug into outlet. At the PC, make sure that no programs accessing
the COM port of the PC are running.
5. Open the Crestron Viewport.
Either launch the stand-alone version of Viewport, or start SIMPL
Windows or VT Pro-e, and from the menu bar, select Tools | Viewport.
6. From the Viewport menu, select Setup | Communicationssettings
(alternatively, press Alt+D) to open the “Port Settings” window. Refer
to the figures on the next page.
7. Select the RS-232 connection type. Verify the available COM is
selected. Verify that the baud rate is set to 115200 (PRO2 default), the
parity is None, the data bits is Eight, the stop bits is One, XON/XOFF
is not selected, and RTS/CTS is selected. Click the OK button to save
the settings and close the window.
NOTE: If problems occur when transferring any Cresnet file (touchpanel
project/firmware), lower the port speed baud rate to 38400 to match the Cresnet bus
speed when transferring through a control system. Make sure XModem is selected
from Mode for Network Transfers.
“Port Settings” Window
8. Proceed to “Uploading a VT Pro-e Project” on the next page, or to
“Firmware Upgrade” that begins on page 25 as appropriate.
6. Disconnect the programming cable and the external power pack from
the touchpanel.
7. Close the Viewport, exit VT Pro-e, and disconnect the programming
cable from the PC and the control system.
Firmware Upgrades
A firmware upgrade file has the
extension .csf
To take advantage of all the available features, it is important that the unit contains
the latest firmware. Please check the Crestron website for the latest version of
firmware. Not every product has a firmware upgrade, but as Crestron improves
functions, adds new features, and extends the capabilities of its products, firmware
upgrades are posted. To upgrade the STX-1700C firmware, complete the following
steps.
1. Make sure that “Communication Settings” that begins on page 20 has
been performed. Suggested baud rate is 38400.
2. As shown on next page, select File Transfer | Update Touchpanel Firmware from the Viewport menu.
Select Update Touchpanel Firmware
3. As shown on the next page, select the Net ID of the STX-1700C and
then click OK.
The table below and continued on the next page provides corrective action for
possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron
customer service representative.
NOTE: To minimize system diagnostics and troubleshooting, Crestron recommends
defining the touchpanel as a wired unit in SIMPL Windows, then test functionality as
a wired network device prior to testing the STRFGWX transceiver operations. This
will help in determining whether there is a programming problem, an RF setting
conflict, or RF interference in the environment.
NOTE: The diagram shown on page 21 is a typical “wired” hookup.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Out of Range Feature
The following describes touchpanel operation when the out of range feature is active
or not active. Crestron recommends that you use the out of range feature.
Out of Range Feature Active
When the STX-1700C is out of range, it displays an out of range indication of your
choice (refer to “Optional Pushbuttons” on page 18), and the touchpanel does not
respond. Also the STRFGWX’s TXD (transmit) LCD will flash every four to five
seconds for approximately 30 seconds and then the LCD stops flashing (the unit
stops transmitting if the touchpanel does not come into range in the allotted time). If
the touchpanel comes into range BEFORE the STRFGWX stops transmitting, the
display reverts to whatever screen the control system has active. If the touchpanel
comes into range AFTER the STRFGWX stops transmitting, the user must touch the
screen to activate the gateway and leave the out of range screen.
Out of Range Feature Not Active
When the STX-1700C is out of range, there is no out of range indication displayed.
The only noticeable symptom on the touchpanel is that it does not respond. The
STRFGWX’s TXD LCD will flash every four to five seconds for approximately 30
seconds, and then the LCD stops flashing (the unit stops transmitting if the
touchpanel does not come in range in the allotted time). If the touchpanel comes into
range BEFORE the STRFGWX stops transmitting, the touchpanel will start
responding and the display reverts to whatever screen the control system has active.
If the touchpanel comes into range AFTER the STRFGWX stops transmitting, the
user must touch the screen to activate the gateway. The screen may change if the
control system sent a change to the touchpanel during the time it was out of range.

Future Updates
As Crestron improves functions, adds new features, and extends the capabilities of
the STX-1700C, additional information and programming examples may be made
available as manual updates. These updates are solely electronic and serve as
intermediary supplements prior to the release of a complete technical documentation
revision.
Check the Crestron website periodically for manual update availability and its
relevance. Updates are identified as an “Addendum.”
Many factors can affect the reliability of RF communication between an RF gateway
and an RF touchpanel. While an effort has been made to determine operating
specifications, some specifications are not constant. RF Communication can be
limited by several factors including but not limited to EMI (electromagnetic
interference), intervening objects, antenna orientation and receiver placement. To
obtain maximum reliability and performance, some basic rules for installing RF
transceivers are listed below.
Minimize Interference
RF reception range can be hindered by spurious EMI noise that may interfere with or
mask the desired frequency thereby reducing useable range. EMI is generated by any
electrical device at various RF noise levels depending on the device. Sources of EMI
include computers, video equipment, digital processors, lighting dimmers, lighting
ballasts, motors or any large AC source. Every effort should be made to separate any
RF transceiver from these sources of RF noise including Audio Visual equipment in
racks. If a gateway must be installed in an equipment rack, make sure you have
ample separation between the equipment and the gateway.
Gateway Placement
Optimum reception for any RF transceiver is obtained by installing the gateway\
transceiver in an open area or shelf with a clear line of sight (no obstructions
between gateway and receiver). Crestron recommends that the gateway is at least
five to six feet high for best results. Avoid placing transceivers or transmitters at a
low height or on the ground. Placing RF equipment near metal objects, walls, corners
or metal enclosures will compromise RF propagation and reception. Try to avoid
installing gateways in equipment racks, service rooms, electrical closets or in rooms
other than that which the panel or transmitter is located.
Antenna Orientation
The antenna orientation on Crestron gateways has considerable effect on range and
reliability. Optimum performance is obtained by setting the antenna horizontally
(parallel to the ground). When absolutely necessary, two alternate orientations are
possible – each will be less effective than the horizontal orientation:
Point the antenna vertically
Point the antenna at a right angle to the gateway.
These may allow for rack or equipment closet doors to be shut but these orientations
may also compromise reception. Never point the antenna downward or directly
parallel to the front panel, this will decrease range and reliability. Refer to
illustrations on the next page for examples of the different antenna orientations.
NOTE: RF propagation is best from the sides of the antenna.
The STX-1700C is supplied with ten optional pushbutton switches, blank buttons,
and a bezel to accommodate the switches. As a further option, custom engraved
black buttons (1700C-BTNB) or silver buttons (1700C-BTNS) can be designed and
purchased via the Crestron Engraver software. Version 2.3.0.0 or later is available
from the Crestron website.
Perform the following to install pushbuttons on the STX-1700C. Follow these same
basic procedures to replace the blank buttons with the optional engraved buttons. A
#1 Phillips screwdriver is required. Refer to the illustration below.
1. Place the touchpanel face down on a clean work surface.
2. Remove the four screws securing the front bezel to the base. Holding the
bezel to the base, return the unit to its normal position and lift the bezel
from the base.
3. Assemble the supplied membrane switches to the pushbutton sets. Notice
that the pushbutton sets fit snugly on the membrane switches. (Refer to the
following Notes.)
4. Put the assembled pushbuttons and switches in place (refer to the following
Notes), and place the new bezel in position.
NOTE: The rear of the pushbuttons are marked 1-5 TOP and 6-10 TOP to ensure
correct orientation when installed. Do not remove the plastic frame connecting the
buttons together.
NOTE: Carefully position the switch/pushbutton assemblies on the printed circuit
boards–edges should be aligned–and place the bezel over the pushbuttons to hold
them in place.
5. Hold the bezel in position and turn the unit over on its face.
6. Reinstall the four screws to secure the bezel to the base. Tighten the screws,
being careful not to strip the threads.
