Crestron 4 Series Manuel utilisateur

The Crestron® MC4 and MC4-I 4-Series media room controllers provide

secure, high-performance, cost-effective control processors and

interfaces. Their small form factor and versatile mounting options make

them ideal for applications such as single-room systems, small to

medium-sized homes and offices, and MDUs (multidwelling units). The

controlsystem includes a built-in infiNET EX® and ER wireless gateway

for acquiring wireless devices as well as numerous control ports for

controlling wired devices.

NOTE:TheMC4 and MC4-I are functionally similar. For simplicity

within this guide, the term "control system"is used to refer to both

the MC4 and MC4-Iunless otherwise noted.

properly.

lApply power after all connections have been made.

Mount the Antenna

The included antenna should be placed in a location that maximizes signal

strength and limits impedance. Refer to the Best Practices for Installation

and Setup of Crestron RFProducts (Doc. 6689) at

www.crestron.com/manuals.

If installing the control system in a rack enclosure, the antenna should be

mounted outside of the enclosure using the Crestron ANT-EXT-10 (sold

separately). For more information, refer to the ANT-EXT-10 Installation

Guide (Doc. 7047) at www.crestron.com/manuals.

Configure the Device

required to access the web configuration interface via the device

IPaddress.

1. Connect the control system to the network.

2. Use the Device Discovery tool in Crestron Toolbox™ software to

discover the control system and its IP address on the network.

3. Enter the control system IPaddress into a web browser.

MC4/MC4-I Quick Start

Configuration via Crestron XiOCloud

The Crestron XiO Cloud service allows supported Crestron devices across

an enterprise to be managed and configured from one central and secure

location in the cloud. Supported devices are configured to connect to the

service. Use of the service requires a registered Crestron XiO Cloud

account.

NOTE: The device may be disconnected from the service by navigating

to the Cloud Services tab in Crestron Toolbox software (Functions >

Device Info >Cloud Services). For details, refer to the Crestron

Toolbox help file.

To access the web configuration interface using the Crestron XiOCloud

service:

1. Connect the control system to the network.

2. Record the MAC address and serial number that are labeled on the top

of the control system. The MACaddress and serial number are

required to add the device to the service.

3. Do either of the following

lFor existing accounts, access the Crestron XiO Cloud service at

https://portal.crestron.io.

lFor new accounts, register for a Crestron XiO Cloud account at

www.crestron.com/xio-cloud-registration.

4. Claim the device to the service as described in the Crestron XiO Cloud

User Guide (Doc. 8214) at www.crestron.com/manuals.

5. Select the device from the cloud interface to view its settings.

Create an Admin Account

The first time the web configuration interface is accessed, a dialog box is

displayed asking the user to create an admin account. A similar message

is displayed when connecting to the device in Crestron Toolbox software if

an admin account has not already been created.

To create an admin account:

1. Enter a username and password for the admin account in the

appropriate text fields.

CAUTION:Do not lose the username and password for the admin

account, as the device must be reset to factory settings to regain

access.

2. Click OK. A dialog box is displayed stating that enabling authentication

will restart the web session.

3. Click Yes to confirm and restart. The username and password created

in step 1 must be entered to regain access to the web configuration

interface.

For optimum performance when installing the control system in a

Wi-Fi®network 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:

lGateway channels 11 through 14 are within the Wi-Fi channel 1band.

lGateway channel 15 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 1 and 6.

lGateway channels 16 through 19 are within the Wi-Fi channel 6band.

lGateway channel 20 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 6 and 11.

lGateway channels 21 through 24 are within the Wi-Fi channel 11band.

lGateway channel 25 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channel 11.

lGateway channel 26 is neither within nor adjacent to any Wi-Fiband.

NOTE: Crestron RF devices are divided into two categories: infiNETEX

network devices and Crestron Extended Range (ER) devices.

infiNETEX devices automatically set their RF channel assignment to

match the gateway’s channel, whereas ER devices must have their RF

channel manually assigned to match the gateway’s channel.

Use Crestron Toolbox to set the control system RFchannel. From the

EasyConfig tool, navigate to Functions >infiNETEXGateway. Refer to

the Crestron Toolbox help file for more information.

MC4/MC4-I Quick Start

Acquire Devices to the Control

System

Crestron infiNET EX and ER devices can communicate with the control

system after they have been acquired by the control system internal

gateway. A device can be acquired to only one gateway. Acquire mode is

activated from Crestron Toolbox or by pressing the ACQUIREbutton on

the control system front panel.

For optimum performance when installing the control system in a Wi-Fi

network 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:

NOTES:

lUse Crestron Toolbox to set the RF channel before starting the

acquiring process. Refer to Assign the RFChannel.

lAcquire mode can be activated approximately 15 seconds after

power is applied to the control system.

lThe control system must be put in Acquire mode before an infiNET

EX device is put into Acquire mode.

To acquire an infiNET EX or ER device to the control system:

1. Press ACQUIRE on the control system to enter Acquire mode. The

Acquire LED lights to indicate that the unit is ready to acquire.

NOTE:Acquire mode deactivates after one hour by default. This

timeout period can be modified in Crestron Toolbox.

2. Place the infiNET EX or ER device within range of the gateway (50 ft),

and put it into Acquire mode as described in its documentation. The

device is acquired within two minutes of putting it into Acquire mode.

3. Repeat step 2 for each device that must be acquired.

4. Press ACQUIRE on the control system to leave Acquire mode.
