2-Series Engine
At the heart of the AV2 & PRO2 is the powerful 32-bit Freescale ColdFire®
processor. Crestron's exclusive enhanced real-time operating system makes the AV2
& PRO2 the fastest, most reliable control systems available.

Dual Bus Architecture
The AV2’s & PRO2's unique dual-bus architecture affords ultra fast
communications. The 40 Mbps Y-Bus provides a high-speed backplane for IR, serial
and other integrated control ports. Additional control ports and interfaces like MIDI
and digital audio processing may be added by installing up to three Y-Bus control

cards (expansion cage option required for AV2). At a blazing 300 Mbps, the Z-Bus
supports Fast Ethernet with future support for other emerging technologies.
Cresnet®
Cresnet is the communications backbone for many Crestron touchpanels, keypads,
lighting controls and other devices. The Cresnet bus is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire
network that provides rock-solid bidirectional communication and power for up to
252 Cresnet devices.
Cresnet Slave Mode
Selectable Cresnet Slave Mode enables the AV2 & PRO2 to be configured as
Cresnet slave devices, effectively transforming them into Cresnet expansion
modules. Such flexibility can offer a cost-effective solution for system expansion,
providing a host of additional control ports in a single module.
Ethernet
Crestron pioneered the IP-based control system to harness the vast possibilities of
Ethernet and the Internet for remote control, monitoring, programming and
diagnostics. The AV2 & PRO2 are designed to deliver the world's most advanced IP
control solutions. A choice of single or dual port Ethernet cards enables a full-duplex
10/100 Ethernet connection with built-in Web server and email client and support for
both static and dynamic IP addressing.
Crestron e-Control®2
Crestron's award-winning e-Control 2 XPanel solutions offer the most flexible range
of IP control possibilities available. Using a Windows® computer or CE/PocketPC™
PDA device, e-Control 2 provides an amazing control GUI that looks and behaves
just like a Crestron Isys® touchpanel.
Crestron RoomView®
Every Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control system works directly with Crestron's
exclusive RoomView Help Desk software for the industry's most comprehensive
facility-wide asset management solution.
SSL
All Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control systems support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer),
the industry standard for protecting sensitive network communications.
NAT
The AV2’s & PRO2's onboard NAT (Network Address Translator) acts as a firewall
and router to facilitate the configuration of a private control LAN with a single-point
connection to the client's LAN (Dual-port Ethernet card required).
Memory Expansion
A memory card slot accessible on the rear panel allows for easy expansion of the
AV2’s & PRO2's internal memory using any Type II Compact Flash memory card
up to 4 GB. Note that compact flash memory supports FAT file structure.

Front Panel Control (PRO2 only)
The PRO2 includes a programmable front control panel with LCD display and
control port status indicators. The PRO2's front panel serves as a ready user interface
for system configuration and diagnostics and can also be custom programmed to
enable menu-driven control capability.

COMPUTER
DB9F connectors (one on front panel and one on rear) are used
when programming with a PC. Each port is modem compatible.
(Modem and PC cables not included.)
FRONT PANEL REAR PANEL
2 PWR LED Indicates 24 Volts DC power supplied from Cresnet control network.
3 NET LED Indicates communication with Cresnet System.
4 MSG LED2
Illuminates when a message is detected. To decipher content,
examine the message available from the menu function buttons or
through the Crestron Toolbox™.
5 COM (A – F) LEDS3
RXD - Illuminate during reception of data from serial devices
attached to the respective COM ports.
TXD – Illuminate during transmission of data to serial devices
attached to the respective COM ports.
RTS – Illuminate to reflect state of the RTS pin on the respective
COM port. If no handshaking is specified, the RTS line will be high
and the associated LED is also high. When RTS flow control is
enabled, RTS indicates the unit is ready to receive data from serial
devices attached to the respective COM ports.
CTS – Illuminate to reflect state of the CTS pin on the respective
COM port. An illuminated LED means the CTS line is high. When
CTS flow control is enabled, CTS indicates the serial devices on the
respective COM ports are ready to accept data.
6 IR – SERIAL (A – H) LEDS3 Indicate activity on the respective IR-SERIAL lines.
7 RELAY (1 – 8) LEDS3 Indicate the respective relay is closed.
8 RESET BUTTONS
HW-R - Initiates system hardware reset.
SR-R - Pressing this in combination with HW-R button performs a
system restart without loading the program. Pressing it alone
momentarily while the system is running restarts the program.
9 LAN (A – B) LEDS4
LNK – Indicate the Ethernet card has established a valid Ethernet
connection.
ACT – Indicate communication (activity) at the respective port on the
Ethernet card.
