Install the Device
The control system can be mounted into a rack or placed on a flat
surface.
Mount into a Rack
The control system occupies 2U of rack space. Use the three screws from
the front part of each side panel, and a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver to
attach the two included rack ears to the device, as shown in the following
illustration. Then mount the device into the rack using four mounting
screws (not included).
Rack Mounting Safety Precautions
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of
the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power
strips).
Place on a Flat Surface
Attach the included feet near the corners on the underside of the device
before placing the device onto a flat surface or stacking it with other
equipment.

COM 1-2 Connections
1. RS-422 transmit and receive are balanced signals requiring two lines plus a ground in
each direction. RXD+ and TXD+ should idle high (going low at start of data
transmission). RXD- and TXD- should idle low (going high at start of data
transmission). If necessary, RXD+/RXD- and TXD+/TXD- may be swapped to maintain
correct signal levels.
2. A ground terminal connection is recommended but not required. Ground potential
difference must be under ±4 V.
Connect the Control Subnet
The control system has a dedicated Control Subnet used for
communication between the control system and Crestron Ethernet
devices. This subnet allows for communication without interference from
other network traffic on the LAN.
NOTE: Do not connect the CONTROL SUBNET port to the LAN. The
CONTROL SUBNET port must only be connected to Crestron
Ethernet devices.
Configure the Device
The control system can be configured using Crestron Toolbox™ software,
the built-in, web-based setup tool, or (on the PRO3 only)the front panel
controls.
Configure with Crestron Toolbox
To use Crestron Toolbox to establish communication and configure the
control system, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
Configure with the Web-based Tool
1. Use Crestron Toolbox to set the time zone. For details, refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file.
2. Use Internet Explorer® to navigate to http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx/setup,
where xxx.xx.xx.xxx is the IPaddress of the control system. The control
system's welcome screen is displayed.
