CRESTRON CEN-GW1 Universal Wireless Gateway User Guide

CRESTRON CEN-GW1 Universal Wireless Gateway User Guide

The CEN-GW1 and CENI-GW1 are universal wireless gateways designed for use with Crestron® Sub Ghz (SG) wireless, infiNET EX® wireless, and “ER” (Extended Range RF) wireless devices.

NOTE: The CEN-GW1 and CENI-GW1 are functionally similar. For simplicity within this guide, the term “CEN-GW1” is used except where noted. The CEN-GW1 is powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or with an optional power pack.

Determine the Installation Location

Install the CEN-GW1 in a location that will provide optimum performance. Consider the following when determining the installation location:

NOTE: For additional information, refer to the Best Practices for Installation and Setup of Crestron RF Products Reference Guide (Doc. 6689) at www.crestron.com/manuals.

• Place the gateway at least 15 ft (4.6 m) from other Sub Ghz (SG), infinite EX gateways, Crestron ER gateways, or Wi-Fi® access points.
• Place multiple gateways on different RF channels.
• Place the gateway at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from the nearest Bluetooth® device.

Installation

Mount the CEN-GW1 to a DIN rail or a wall. The CEN-GW1 can also be rack mounted. Refer to the RMK-IFE-1U Installation Guide (Doc. 7627) at www.crestron.com/manuals for details. It can also be placed on any flat, level surface.

NOTES:

• This product must be installed and used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• This product must be installed by a qualified electrician.

DIN Rail Mount

To mount the CEN-GW1 to a DIN rail, perform these steps:

1. Hang the mounting bracket on the top of the DIN rail and press the bottom toward the DIN rail until it snaps into place.
2. Insert the CEN-GW1 into the mounting bracket until it snaps into place.
3. Secure the CEN-GW1 to the mounting bracket. Insert a 6-32 x 3/8 in. screw into each side of the mounting bracket and tighten using a Phillips screwdriver.

NOTE: Do not use the included screws to mount the bracket to the bottom of the CEN-GW1, as it will then not be possible to remove the device from the DIN rail.

Wall Mount

To mount the CEN-GW1 to a wall, perform these steps:

1. Secure the mounting bracket to a vertical, flat surface using screws that are appropriate for the mounting surface (not included).
2. Insert the CEN-GW1 into the mounting bracket until it snaps into place.
3. Secure the CEN-GW1 to the mounting bracket. Insert a 6-32 x 3/8 in. screw into each side of the mounting bracket and tighten using a Phillips screwdriver.

Make Connections

Make the necessary connections for your application. Turn on power to the CEN- GW1 after all connections have been made. Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• When PoE is not available, supply power using a Crestron power supply such as a PW-2407WU (not included).
• When a Crestron PoE switch is available, connect the Ethernet cable directly to the PoE switch.
• When using a Crestron PoE injector:
  • Connect the CEN-GW1 to the PoE injector: n Connect the CAT5e cable (supplied) to the LAN PoE port on the CEN-GW1.
  • Connect the other end of the CAT5e cable to the LAN PoE port on the PoE injector.
  • Connect the PoE injector to the LAN. n Connect a CAT5e cable (not included) to the LAN port on the PoE injector.
  • Connect the other end of the CAT5e cable to the LAN.
  •  Attach the AC power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the PoE injector and the other end into an active AC outlet.

NOTE: Arrows denote internal pin assignments of the LAN PoE and LAN ports.

Connect the Antenna

Attach the EX/ER antenna to the ANTENNA EX/ER connector and the SG antenna to the ANTENNA SG connector. If necessary, extend the antenna using an ANT-EXT-10 Antenna Extender (sold separately).

Assign the RF Channel

Before use, assign an RF channel to the CEN-GW1. The CEN-GW1 uses RF channels 11 through 26. Crestron recommends using RF channel 15 (default) or 20. For optimum performance in a Wi-Fi environment, do not set the RF channel within a Wi-Fi channel band. Refer to the information below when choosing the RF channel in a Wi-Fi environment.

NOTE: Remember the following when pairing infiNET EX and ER devices:

• Sub Ghz (SG) and infiNET EX devices automatically set their RF channel assignment to match the channel assigned to the gateway.
• ER devices must have their RF channel manually assigned to match the channel of the gateway.

Use the EasyConfig tool in Crestron Toolbox™ software to assign the RF channel. In the “EasyConfig” window for the wireless gateway, select Functions and then infiNET EX Gateway. Refer to the Crestron Toolbox software Help file for details.

Acquire Devices to the Gateway

Crestron Sub Ghz (SG), infiNET EX, or ER devices can communicate with a CEN- GW1 after they have been acquired. A device can be acquired to only one gateway.

NOTES:

• Use Crestron Toolbox software to set the RF channel before starting the acquire process. The default RF channel is 15.
• Before adding ER devices, set the RF channel to match the channel assigned to the gateway.
• After turning on the CEN-GW1, wait 15 seconds before entering Acquire mode.
• In an environment with multiple gateways, only one gateway should be in Acquire mode at a time.
• Enter Acquire mode on the gateway before entering Acquire mode on the device.

To acquire a Sub Ghz (SG), infiNET EX, or ER device, perform the following steps:

1.  To enter Acquire mode, press ACQUIRE on the CEN-GW1. The
   ACQUIRE LED turns on to indicate that the gateway is in Acquire mode and that it is ready to acquire devices.
   NOTES:
   • You can use Crestron Toolbox software to enter and exit Acquire mode.
   • The gateway exits Acquire mode after one hour. Use Crestron
   Toolbox software to change the timeout period.

2. To acquire a Sub Ghz (SG), infiNET EX, or ER device, enter Acquire mode on the device. Refer to the it’s manual for details.

3. To exit Acquire mode, press ACQUIRE on the CEN-GW1. The ACQUIRE LED turns off.
