Crestron CEN-TIA Telephone Interface Module
Telephone Interface Module:
CEN-TIA
Introduction
Features and Functions
• Remote control access from any phone
• Custom door chime, ringer and alarm sounds
• Personalized voice prompts
• Caller ID (CID)
• Telephone paging for multiroom audio systems
• Push-To-Talk half-duplex speakerphone
• Easy setup via phone and PC software
• Microsoft Outlook Address Book import compatibility
• Palm database import compatibility
DTMF Control Interface
Use your mobile phone to remotely turn on lights, adjust air conditioning, and
arm/disarm security. Using standard Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals,
the CEN-TIA affords telephone keypad control of any automatio n system function,
providing a prompt-driven user-interface that is simple to use. Configuration
software provided with the CEN-TIA makes it easy to set up a menu of friendly
voice commands using the preloaded voice prompts, or your own custom audio files,
for personalized remote control of your home or office. The CEN-TIA can also dial
out to your mobile phone to alert you to an alarm condition or other system event.
Audio Signal Generator
Loaded with your own custom WAV or MP3 audio fil e s, t he CEN-TIA can be used
to generate high-quality door chimes and alarm sounds, and even create unique
telephone ring tones to identify known callers based on Caller ID. With memory
capacity expandable up to 1 GB, the CEN-TIA can easily support several hours of
full-frequency stereo audio files.

Telephone Interface Module Crestron CEN-TIA
Caller ID
See who is calling before you answer by displaying Caller ID (CID) information on
every touchpanel. Manage missed calls easily with complete caller information and
management options displayed on the touchpanel screen.
Telephone Paging
The CEN-TIA adds telephone paging capability to any Crestron Home® audio
distribution system, allowing sophisticated zone-paging from any telephone to room
speakers throughout the house.
Speakerphone
Enable speakerphone capability on your Crestron® touchpanel. The CEN-TIA
connects directly to a standard phone line, or to your phone system's analog
extension port to provide a single-line, push-to-talk half-duplex speakerphone
interface for any touchpanel with built-in microphone and speakers. Integrated with
the C2N-IADS30x24 Intercom Distribution Switcher, the CEN-TIA can enable
speakerphone capabilities for multiple touchpanels througho ut the house.
Outlook and Palm Address Book Import Compatibility
Both Microsoft Outlook Address Book and Palm Desktop Address Book can be
imported into the CEN-TIA. Refer to the Toolbox help file for information on this
procedure.

Industry Compliance
NOTE: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment
Technical Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The
abbreviations, IC, before the registration nu mber signifies that registration was
performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved
the equipment.
NOTE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is
0.1A. The REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the
maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only
to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices
does not exceed five.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the bottom of the unit is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested,
this number must be provided to the telephone company.
Applicable connector jack Universal Service Order Codes (“USOC”) for the
Equipment is RJ11C.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements
adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided
with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is
also compliant.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices t hat may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this CEN-TIA causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But
if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC if you believe it is necessary.
