Digital Graphics Engine Crestron DGE-2

Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the Cresnet

and network, consider the following:

NOTE: DMNet

wiring and Cresnet wiring are not compatible.

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• Provide sufficient power to the system.

• For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable.

Maximum cable length is 450 feet (137 meters). All cable sold separately.

CAUTION: 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 (www.crestron.com/calculators

For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to

maintain signal quality.

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page 65.

The DGE-2 can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between the

device and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based

devices.

For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the

latest version of the Crestron e-Control



Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is

available from the Crestron Web site (www.crestron.com/manuals).

Identity Code

Net ID

The Net ID of the DGE-2 has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple DGE-2

devices in the same system must be unique. The Net ID is set using the internal setup

menu (refer to “Cresnet” on page 23). Net ID may also be set from a personal

computer (PC) via Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing Communication” on

page 61).

When setting the Net ID, consider the following:

• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL

Windows program.

• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.

For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
