Isys ® G-Series Touchpanel Interface Crestron TPS-GA-TPI
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
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 larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain
signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 46.
Ethernet
The TPS-GA-TPI also uses 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 for download from the Crestron website ( www.crestron.com/manuals ).
QuickMedia Wiring
The Crestron QuickMedia cable (sold under the name “CresCAT-QM”) contains one
CAT5E cable and one Cresnet cable in Siamese jackets. Installation of any QM
device is as simple as installing CresCAT-QM wires from the output of one device to
the input of another. Installations are flexible, affordable and fast. For more
information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications
Guide (Doc. 6244), which is available for download from the Crestron website.
