Setup
Network Wiring
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, may
be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to
identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to
do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to
unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and
the 84000-56z Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connecte d must be
taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be
daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each netw or k u nit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire
chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port,
the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The
wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following
equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
).
Cable Length Equation
40,000
Where:
L <
R x P
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of
the equation. For example, a Cresnet run drawing 20 watts should not have a length
of run more than 333 feet.
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One
twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted
pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply so lder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 net wor k d e vi ces), it m a y become
necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality
throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be
necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM
P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).

))
Identity Code
Every piece of equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique
identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to
Crestron Isys® TPS-4L 3.6-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
FE (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs reside within all
Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as specified in the software
(SIMPL Windows) that runs the system. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device
Settings” on page 19 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.
The Net ID of the TPS-4L has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple
TPS-4Ls in the same system must be unique. Net IDs can be changed from a
personal computer (PC) using Crestron SystemBuilder
through the device SETUP MENU as described on page 14.
NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to “Establishing Communications” on page 20. If
communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting
Communications” section in the latest version of the 2-Series Control System
Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron website
(http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
The Crestron Toolbox provides several methods to easily set or change device Net
IDs for any device on the network. The following method permits you to change the
Net ID of any device in the network through the “Network Device Tree” window.
NOTE: This method prevents you from setting duplicate IDs.
This method permits you to manually set the Net ID for any device in the network,
can be used to set any known Net IDs that may require changing, and may also be
used for non-TSID equipment. This method will not permit you to choose an ID
already in use by another device. A warning message will appear if you attempt to
use an ID that is already in use.

First-time users will need to establish a user account.
You can create a program that allows you to include the TPS-4L in a Crestron
control system. The program output of Crestron SystemBuilder is a SIMPL
Windows program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros and
templates. Therefore, extending the capabilities of the system is very easy. Crestron
SystemBuilder and SIMPL Windows are intended for users with different level s of
programming knowledge. Crestron SystemBuilder is easier to use for the beginning
programmer, and much faster for all programmers. However, it does not allow the
degree of control and flexibility that SIMPL Windows does. Of course, one can
initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron SystemBuilder) and use
advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.
Crestron SystemBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user
wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel,
this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can
then be used by Crestron SystemBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded
into the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with
the Crestron SystemBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of
the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron

Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder
Crestron SystemBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and
commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and
lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. Crestron System Builder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
Crestron SystemBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database, User
IR Database, and User Modules Directory. Crestron System Builder accesses these
tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.
NOTE: Modifications to the program that are made outside of Crestron
SystemBuilder (for example, in VT Pro-e or SIMPL Windows) are not preserved
when you reenter Crestron SystemBuilder.

Crestron Isys® TPS-4L 3.6-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
NOTE: Alternatively, the TPS-4L touchpanel could be connected to the control
system via Ethernet instead of Cresnet.
Setting the Net ID in Device Settings
Double-click the TPS-4L (Cresnet) icon in the upper pane to open the “Device
Settings” window. This window displays TPS-4L device information. The Net ID
can be changed in this window using the Net ID tab, as shown in the following
figure.
“Device Settings” Window
NOTE: This procedure sets the Net ID for the TPS-4L in the program only. It does
not automatically set the Net ID for the TPS-4L hardware. SIMPL Windows
automatically changes Net ID values of a device added to a program if a duplicate
device or a device with the same Net ID already exists in the program. Always
ensure that the hardware and software settings of the Net ID match. For Net ID
hardware setting details, refer to “Identity Code” on page 6.
Symbols in Programming Manager
Programming Manager is where programmers “program” a Creston control system
by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol for the TPS-4L can be viewed by
double-clicking on the icons or dragging them into Detail View. A description fo r
each signal in the symbol is provided in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with VT Pro-e
VT Pro-e, design and programming Windows-based software, permits the creation
of unlimited control screen variations incorporating two and three-dimensional
graphics and text. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each
TPS-4L touchpanel application. Each page contains objects such as custom control
graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which
allow the user to interface with the control system via join numbers. Unjoined
objects are not interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any functions. The
completed and compiled project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into
3.6-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron Isys® TPS-4L
the flash PROM via the File | Upload Project command. The touchpanel uses the
programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC. The PC may be
disconnected from the control system or panel except during reprogramming.
When you start the VT Pro-e project for this product, select TPS-4L as the panel
type.
For additional software information, refer to the help file provided with the software.
The latest version of VT Pro-e can be obtained from the Crestron website.
NOTE: VT Pro-e projects can also be uploaded via Crestron Toolbox. Refer to
“Uploading VT Pro-e Projects” on page 33.
Example Program
An example program for the TPS-4L is available from the “Example Program”
section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/exampleprograms). Search for
TPS-4L.ZIP.
Uploading and Upgrading
NOTE: Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each
device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released
features. Please check the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/updates) for
the latest versions of software and firmware. New users are required to register to
obtain access to this site.
Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming
software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects to the system and
touchpanel and firmware to the wall plates after their development. 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 Toolbox.
The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program to
the control system, or upgrade the firmware of the TPS-4L. However, before
attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.
Establishing Communications
NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron
recommends the use of a PCMCIA card over a USB adapter, particularly if using
Viewport.
Establishing communications is an essential step when setting up the control system.
Once communications are established with the control system, you can upload
programming, update firmware, and use all the diagnostic tools available in Crestron
Toolbox.
When communicating with the TPS-4L from a PC, one of two communication
methods can be used.
• Indirect RS-232 serial communication via control system
Crestron Isys® TPS-4L 3.6-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
Indirect Serial Communication via Control System
The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 com munication between
the PC and the touchpanel via the control system. This method can be used to
communicate with the control system directly and with a touchpanel via the control
system’s Cresnet connection.
Refer to the following figure for a typical connection diagram connecting to a
touchpanel via a control system.
Indirect Serial Communications Setup Connections
1. Ensure that all devices are connected to the control processor and the
control processor is connected via serial cable to the PC.
2. Open Crestron Toolbox and click Tools | Manage Address Book to display
a list of available devices. Select Serial on COM1 as the connection type.
Serial on COM1 is an entry in the Default Address Book that is included
with Crestron Toolbox.
The PC communication settings specified here should match the protocol
that the control processor expects. The usual settings are as follows:
• Port = COM 1 through COM 8. Select the correct COM port on the PC.
3.6-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron Isys® TPS-4L
“Address Book” Window – Serial Setup
3. After setting the correct parameters, click OK to return to the Crestron
Toolbox main window.
4. Click Tools | Network Device Tree, or click the network device tree icon
to display the “Network Device Tree” window. Use the Address Book
icon or the drop-down list at the lower left of the window to select the
appropriate address for the devices in the system. Communications are
confirmed when the network devices are displayed.
Network Device Tree
To view a specific device, expand the network device tree by clicking +. Expand the
network device tree until the device to be managed is selected. Right-click the
desired Net ID to open the sub-menu. This menu provides a wide range of functions,
including; change the Net ID, open text console, upload project, update firmware,
etc. Refer to the following figure.

Network Device Tree Sub-Menu -Functions
NOTE: Crestron Toolbox displays a customized list of functions depending on the
type of device with which it is communicating.
TCP/IP Communication
This section explains how to configure a TPS-4L to communicate over Ethernet
using TCP/IP. These procedures assume that the touchpanel has been powered up
and connected properly.
PC-to-touchpanel communications can be implemented over TCP/IP as shown in the
following diagram. TCP/IP is the fastest method of communicating between the PC
and the touchpanel.
Typical Connection Diagram when Uploading a Touchpanel Project or Firmware to the
Touchpanel via TCP/IP
1. To establish TCP/IP communications with the touchpanel, a serial
connection must be established between the PC and touchpanel. Refer to
“Indirect Serial Communication” on page 21 for instructions.
2. While connected to the touchpanel, select Functions | Ethernet Addressing. The touchpanel’s current IP address, IP mask and default
router are displayed.
3.6-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron Isys® TPS-4L
“Ethernet Address” Window
3. If necessary, enter a new IP address, IP Mask, and Default Router, or select
Enable DHCP and click OK.
NOTE: The touchpanel is capable of communicating via DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). A netwo rk server uses this pr ot ocol to dynamically assign
IP addresses to networked devices. The DHCP client is not guaranteed to have a
particular TCP/IP address at any given time. If the DHCP is disabled, the network
administrator must assign the IP address. The Interface menu provides an
enable/disable feature for Ethernet and CIP (Crestron Internet Protocol).
4. Ensure that all devices are connected to the control processor. For TCP/IP,
use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors to connect
the LAN port on the touchpanel and the LAN port on the PC to the Ethernet
hub. Alternatively, you can use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two
LAN ports directly, without using a hub. The following figures illustrate
pinouts for straight through and crossover RJ-45 cables. Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8
are not used.
RJ-45 Straight Through Cable – For Connection Through Hub
5. Once the cable connections are made, open Crestron Toolbox and click
Tools | Manage Address book to display the “Address Book” window.
6. Select the touchpanel from the address book or click Add Entry and type a
new name for the new device, such as tps4l-tcpip.
7. Click TCP as the connection type. Enter the IP address or hostname of the
touchpanel and click OK.

8. Click Tools | System Info to display the “System Info” window. From the
pull-down menu, select the entry created in step 7.
Creating the Touchpanel IP Table
If the touchpanel is to communicate with a control system over TCP/IP, an IP table
must be created on the touchpanel to identify the control system(s) it will
communicate with over TCP/IP.
Use the following instructions to create the IP table.
1. Select Functions | IP Table Setup from the Crestron Toolbox menu bar.
3.6-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron Isys® TPS-4L

2. If the touchpanel already has an IP table, it is displayed at the top of the
window.
3. Click Add Entry to add a new IP table entry or select an existing IP entry
from the list and click Modify Entry. Up to 252 entries can be listed on a
touchpanels IP table. Click Remove [Del] to remove a selected IP entry or
click Clear List to remove all of the entries from the IP table.
NOTE: IP table entries that have not yet been sent to the device are listed in
red.
4. Click Load From File… to browse for a saved IP table.
“Open” Window
5. To enter a new IP ID, select the hexadecimal IP ID of the control system
from the IP ID list. The IP ID of the control system must match the IP ID
that is specified for the control system in the SIMPL Windows program.
Crestron Isys® TPS-4L 3.6-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
“IP Table Entry” Window
NOTE: All IP table entries are set as Master and cannot be changed.
6. In the IP Address/Hostname field, enter the static IP address of the control
system, or if the control system is DHCP-enabled, its fully qualified domain
name. After entering all of the information, click OK to add the device to
the IP table.
7. Repeat this procedure for all the control systems that will control the
touchpanel.
8. Click Save To File… on the “IP Table” window to save this IP table to the
PC.
“Save As” Window
9. Once all of the control systems have been listed, click Send to Device on
the “IP Table” window to upload the IP table to the touchpanel. The
touchpanel will reboot and all of the table entries will be listed in black.
NOTE: When an IP table is sent to the touchpanel, the previously loaded IP table is
overwritten.
3.6-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron Isys® TPS-4L
Adding the Touchpanel to the Control System IP Table
If the control system is to communicate with the TPS-4L over TCP/IP, the control
system's IP table must have an entry for the touchpanel. The entry should list the
touchpanel's IP ID and the internal gateway IP address 127.0.0.1. For more
information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series Control System
Reference Guide (Doc. 6256).
Troubleshooting Communications
Use the following checklist if communication cannot be established with the control
processor.
1. Verify that you are using the correct cables. As described previously, an
RS-232 connection requires a straight-through serial cable. TCP/IP
connection requires a CAT5 cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
2. With a serial connection, verify that the correct COM port on the PC has
been selected. Some computers have more than one COM port; s ome may
be internal (e.g., for a modem). Consult the manufacturer’s documentation
for further information about the COM ports on your PC.
3. Remove and reapply power to the control system.
4. If communication still cannot be established, contact Crestron customer
service.
