Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-4X
TPMC-4X is perfect for searching through tracks and titles on your music server
complete with the dynamic display of cover art graphics. Of course, true-feedback is
afforded for every connected device be it audio, video, satellite radio, lighting,
security, or climate control.
Wireless Video
Viewing security cameras and other video sources is possible right on the
touchscreen. The TPMC-4X includes built-in support for wireless streaming video
from a variety of third-party web cameras and servers using the motion-JPEG
format.
Backlit Hard Buttons
To complement its touchpanel with tactile pushbutton control, the TPMC-4X
includes a 5-way thumbpad controller, side-mounted toggle wheel, and 13 additional
pushbuttons. Every button is fully programmable to support quick access to
functions ranging from simple volume adjustment and channel selection to on-screen
menu navigation or even pan/tilt camera control. Adjustable button ba cklighting
provides a striking appearance while facilitating operation in a darkened home
theater or boardroom.
Built-in Stylus
The stylus supplied with your TPMC-4X is designed for your screen. The use of
other pointers could damage the screen. To obtain an additional stylus, contact a
Crestron customer service representative.
Li-Ion Rechargeable Batteries
A fast-charging Lithium Ion battery pack provides long-lasting wireless operation
without the "memory" issues typical of other rechargeable batteries. Adjustable
‘power off’ mode and the included docking station provide charging convenience
with an elegant appearance.
Embedded PC Applications
The TPMC-4X includes an MJPEG Viewer as an embedded PC application.
Future PC applications and features may be added, as they become available,
through Crestron updates.
Wireless Access Point Compatibility
Several devices are compatible with the TPMC-4X for communication with a
Cresnet System. Refer to the Crestron website (www.crestron.com), online help
answer ID 3984, for information on compatible devices.

Crestron TPMC-4X Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel
Applications
The following diagram illustrates a basic configuration that connects a TPMC-4X
WiFi touchpanel to a control system via a wireless access point (WAP).
• The distance between the TPMC-4X and the dedicated WAP should not exceed
30 feet. The TPMC-4X is not a roaming device.
• Use a dedicated wireless router/access point for each TPMC-4X device.
• Each TPMC-4X must have only a single dedicated WAP listed in its Preferred
Networks list. Refer to the “WLAN Settings” Window – Config Tab instructions
on page 15.
The diagram on the next page presents a more complex configuration. In this
scenario, the WAP is connected to port B of the control system’s C2ENET-2 card.
Port A is connected to the corporate LAN. The card’s internal firewall controls data
flow thus isolating the two subnets.
NOTE: When using a dual-port Ethernet card, Ports A & B must be different
subnets (e.g., Port A = 128.x.x.x; Port B = 19 2.x.x.x).
For additional information on setting up and understanding an Ethernet network,
refer to the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052),
which is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals).

1. Requires a compatible 802.11b Wi-Fi access point. The RF signal range is dependent on construction
of the building, obstructions, and RF interference from other devices. The location of the access point
and the orientation of its antenna are also important factors in the RF performance.
2. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol for wireless networks that encrypts transmitted
data, and protects the integrity of the data.
3. Typical battery life is three hours continuous usage with display at full brightness. Actual operating
time depends on usage and settings for display brightness and timeouts.
4. Refer to “Identity Code” on page 11 for details.
5. The latest software versions can be obtained from the Crestron website. Refer to NOTE after last
footnote.
6. Crestron 2-Series control systems include the AV2 and PRO2. Consult the latest Crestron Product
Catalog for a complete list of 2-Series control systems that are Ethernet-enabled directly or via a
C2ENET-2 dual port Ethernet card.
