infiNET™ Gateway/Transceiver:
C2N-MNETGW
Introduction
The C2N-MNETGW is a 2-way RF gateway/transceiver designed to
enable communications and management for a complete infiNET
wireless network of dimmers, thermostats, and other devices. The
C2N-MNETGW links the infiNET network to the Cresnet®wired
network to enable communications with a 2-Series control system.
Features and Functions
infiNET™
Crestron's groundbreaking infiNET wireless technology provides reliable
2-way communications throughout a home or office structure without the
need for physical control wiring. Employing a 2.4 GHz mesh network
topology, most infiNET devices function as an RF repeater, increasing
effective range and reinforcing the complete network by providing
infiNET™ Gateway/Transceiver Crestron C2N-MNETGW
2 •infiNET™ Gateway/Transceiver: C2N-MNETGW Operations Guide – DOC. 6317B
multiple redundant signal paths within the mesh network. Adding more
infiNET devices or repeaters to the network effectively increases the
range, strength, and reliability of the network.
Up to 30 infiNET dimmers, switches, and other devices can be linked to
a control system via a single C2N-MNETGW gateway. Additional
gateways may be installed to support additional devices, with up to 16
gateways possible in a complete system (RF conditions allowing).
Easy Setup
Setting up a complete infiNET network is simple, utilizing dynamic
discovery to locate and acquire each RF device automatically. Most
infiNET devices also function as repeaters. These devices are capable of
automatically repeating messages for any other infiNET devices within
range (approximately 150 feet indoors) that operate on the same infiNET
RF channel, thereby strengthening the mesh network and increasing its
effective range. At all times, the C2N-MNETGW monitors each device
on the network, ignoring any other 2.4 GHz signals, and reconfiguring
the entire network automatically in response to new sources of
interference and other changes in RF conditions.
Applications
The following diagram shows a C2N-MNETGW in an infiNET
application with infiNET dimmers and a C2N-MNETRPT infiNET
repeater.
