Identity Codes
The STX-1700CXP touchpanel uses distinct types of identity (ID) codes for
recognition within a Cresnet system: Cresnet identity (NET ID) for instances when
the touchpanel is wired to the Cresnet system, and RF ID for those instances when
the touchpanel communicates with the Cresnet system via the RF gateway. These
codes are assigned to the touchpanel from the SELECT INTERFACE screen when
the unit is configured. Refer to “Select Interface” on page 9. These assignments must
match assignments made in the SIMPL Windows project.
In addition, it is necessary to specify an RF channel and band in order for the
touchpanel and TPS-RFGWX gateway to communicate. These settings, described
briefly below, are assigned via the RF SETUP and ADDITIONAL RF SETUP
screens, shown on pages 9 and 10, respectively.
NET ID
Every equipment and user interface wired to the Cresnet system requires a unique
NET ID. These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The NET
ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL Windows program.
The NET ID is used during uploading of a Crestron VisionTools
® Pro-e
(VT Pro-e) project or upgrading the touchpanel firmware.
The NET ID is also used when operating the unit as a wired touchpanel.
RF ID
Every STX-1700CXP touchpanel communicating with a Cresnet control system via
a TPS-RFGWX requires a unique RF ID to identify it to the gateway to secure RF
communications. There are 15 useable codes, ranging from 1 to F (hexadecimal
number), to allow for up to 15 touchpanels communicating via a given gateway. The
RF ID of the touchpanel must match the RF ID specified in the SIMPL Windows
program.
NOTE: The RF channel and band selection of the touchpanel must match the
channel ID and band selection of the gateway to have communication. Refer to the
latest version of the TPS-RFGWX Operations Guide (DOC. 5847) for gateway
assignment details.
RF CHANNEL
Each STX-1700CXP touchpanel communicating to the TPS-RFGWX transceiver
must have an RF channel that matches the channel ID of the TPS-RFGWX. There
are 16 possible RF channels ranging from 0 to F (hexadecimal number). Having
multiple channels available allows for multiple gateways, and therefore many
multiple touchpanels, to be used in a given project without signal interference.
The channel ID assignment of the TPS-RFGWX is viewed/changed in the Crestron
Viewport software utility.
Band
The ability to specify one of the ten bands (frequency ranges) designated for
communication within the 2.4 GHz spectrum makes it possible to minimize
interference with other RF devices that may be operating near the Cresnet system.
Refer to the “ADDITIONAL RF SETUP” illustration on page 10 for details.
