Crestron CEN-GW1 User manual

The CEN-GW1 and CENI-GW1 are universal wireless gateways that
communicate with Crestron® SG (Sub GHz), ER (Extended Range), and
infiNET EX®wireless devices. A single CEN-GW1 creates SG, ER, and
infiNET EX® wireless networks to facilitate 2-way communication
between a Crestron®control system and a network of Crestron wireless
remotes, keypads, lighting dimmers, motorized shades, thermostats,
door locks, and other 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 (PW-2407WU, sold separately).

Installation
Install the CEN-GW1 on a wall, DIN rail, rack, or pole.
lWall: Wall
lDIN Rail: DIN Rail
lRack: To install in a rack, use the RMK-IFE-1U (sold separately).
lPole: To install on a pole, use the PLMK-IFE-101 (sold separately).
NOTES:
lThis product must be installed and used in accordance with
appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
lThis product must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Wall
To mount the CEN-GW1 to a wall:
1. Secure the mounting bracket to a vertical, flat wall using screws that
are appropriate for the wall material (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.

DIN Rail
To mount the CEN-GW1 to a DIN rail:
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. Doing so will prevent removal of
the CEN-GW1 from the DIN rail.
Make Connections
Make the Power, Ethernet, and Antenna connections.
Turn on power to the CEN-GW1 after all connections have been made.
Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

PoE Connection
Use a PoE switch (CEN-SW-POE-5 or CEN-SWPOE-16) or injector
(PWE-4803RU) (all sold separately) to provide power and Ethernet
communications.
To connect using a PoE connection:
1. On the CEN-GW1, connect the CAT5e cable to the LAN PoE port.
2. On the PoE switch or injector, connect the other end of the CAT5e
cable to a PoE port.
NOTE: Arrows denote internal pin assignments of the LAN PoE and
LAN ports.

Separate Power and Ethernet Connections
Use a wall-mount power pack (PW-2407WU, sold separately) to provide
power and the CAT5e cable for Ethernet communications.
To connect using separate power and Ethernet connections:
1. On the CEN-GW1, connect the power pack to the 24V0.75A port.
2. On the CEN-GW1, connect the CAT5e cable to the LAN PoE port.
3. Connect the other end of the CAT5e cable to a LAN port on a
network switch.
Antenna
To connect the antennas:
lAttach the EX/ER antenna to the ANTENNAEX/ER connector. The
EX/ER antenna is shorter than the SG antenna.
lAttach the SG antenna to the ANTENNA SG connector. The SG
antenna has two yellow (CEN-GW1) or gray (CENI-GW1) bands
around the top and is longer than the EX/ER antenna.
To extend an antenna, use ANT-EXT-10 (sold separately).

Assign the RF Channel
Before use, assign an RF channel for SG wireless communications and
an RF channel for infiNET EX and ER wireless communications. To select
the best RF channel, perform an energy scan. For details, refer to
Settings in the product manual.
To assign the RF channel on the gateway, use the Web UI or the
EasyConfig tool in Crestron Toolbox™ software. For details, refer to
Configure the Gateway or Crestron Toolbox Help.
When selecting an RF channel for SG wireless communications, consider
the following:
lEach SG wireless gateway in the space must use a different RF
channel.
lSG devices set their RF channel to match the RF channel set on the
gateway. If the SG RF channel on the gateway is changed, the SG
device automatically updates its RF channel to match the gateway.
lSG devices do not operate within the Wi-Fi® wireless spectrum.
When selecting an RF channel for infiNETEX® and ER wireless
communications, consider the following:
linfiNETEX and ER wireless communications use the same RF
channel.
lThe default and recommended RF channel is 15.
linfiNETEX devices set their RF channel to match the RF channel set
on the gateway. If the infiNETEX andER RF channel on the gateway
is changed, the infiNETEX device automatically updates its RF
channel to match the gateway.
lER devices must have their RF channel assigned manually prior to
joining the network. If the infiNETEX and ER RF channel on the
gateway is changed, the ER device must have its RF channel manually
changed to match the gateway.
linfiNETEX and ER operate within the Wi-Fi® wireless spectrum. For
best performance, do not select an RF channel that is within a Wi-Fi
channel. Refer to the table below for details.

Acquire Devices
Crestron SG, infiNET EX, and ER devices communicate with a CEN-GW1
after they are acquired by the gateway. A device can be acquired by only
one gateway.
NOTES:
lPrior to acquiring devices, assign the RF channel on the gateway
using the Web UI or the EasyConfig tool in Crestron Toolbox™
software. For details, refer to Configure the Gateway or
Crestron Toolbox Help.
lBefore adding ER devices, set the RF channel on the device to
match the channel assigned to the gateway.
lAfter turning on the CEN-GW1, wait 15 seconds before entering
Acquire mode.
lIn an environment with multiple gateways, only one gateway
should be in Acquire mode at a time.
lEnter Acquire mode on the gateway before entering Acquire
mode on the device.
To acquire an SG, infiNET EX, or ER device:
NOTES:
lIf the gateway is part of a Crestron Home™ OS system, the
Crestron Home Setup app must be used to enter and exit Acquire
mode. For details, refer to Pair Crestron Wireless Device with a
Gateway in the Crestron Home OS product manual.
lSG wireless devices enter Acquire mode on first power up and
subsequent power ups if they are not Acquired by a gateway. Do
not power on the device until the gateway is in Acquire mode.
1. On the CEN-GW1, press ACQUIRE to enter Acquire mode. The
ACQUIRE LED turns on to indicate that the gateway is in Acquire
mode and that it is ready to acquire devices. While in Acquire mode,
the gateway will discover and acquire SG, infiNET EX, and ER devices.
NOTES:
lAlternatively, use the Web UI or Crestron Toolbox™ software
to enter and exit Acquire mode.
lThe gateway exits Acquire mode after 3 hours. To change the
timeout period, use the Web UI or Crestron Toolbox™
software.
2. For SG wireless devices that are not Acquired by a gateway, power
on the device.
3. On the SG, infiNET EX, or ER device, enter Acquire mode. The device
exits Acquire mode when it is acquired by the gateway. For additional
details, refer to the device's manual.
4. On the CEN-GW1, press ACQUIRE to exit Acquire mode. The
ACQUIRE LED turns off.
