Crestron CENI-GWEXER User manual

The Crestron® CENI-GWEXER and CENI-GWEXER-PWE are 2-way RF

wireless gateways designed to facilitate communication between

Crestron wireless devices and a Crestron control system. The

CENI-GWEXER and CENI-GWEXER-PWE create a wireless network

that allows both infiNET EX® wireless devices and Crestron Extended

Range (ER) devices to communicate with the control system through one

wireless gateway.

The CENI-GWEXER and CENI-GWEXER-PWE are powered via PoE

(Power over Ethernet) or with an optional power pack. The

CENI-GWEXER-PWE model includes a Crestron PoE injector.

The CENI-GWEXER and CENI-GWEXER-PWE are functionally similar.

For simplicity within this guide, the term “CENI-GWEXER” is used except

where noted.

Installation

Mount the CENI-GWEXER to a DIN rail or a wall. The CENI-GWEXER 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:

lThis product must be installed and used in accordance with

appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

lThis product must be installed by a qualified electrician.

DINRail Mount

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 CENI-GWEXER into the mounting bracket until it snaps into

place.

3. Secure the CENI-GWEXER 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 CENI-GWEXER, as it will then not be possible to

remove the device from the DIN rail.

Wall Mount

1. Secure the mounting bracket to a vertical, flat surface using screws

that are appropriate for the mounting surface (not included).

2. Insert the CENI-GWEXER into the mounting bracket until it snaps into

place.

3. Secure the CENI-GWEXER 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 CENI-GWEXER after all connections have been made. Use Crestron

power supplies for Crestron equipment.

lWhen PoE is not available, supply power using a Crestron power

supply such as a PW-2407WU (not included).

lWhen a Crestron PoE switch is available, connect the Ethernet cable

directly to the PoE switch.

lWhen using a Crestron PoE injector:

oConnect the CENI-GWEXER to the PoE injector:

nConnect the CAT5e cable (supplied) to the LAN PoE port on the

CENI-GWEXER.

nConnect the other end of the CAT5e cable to the LAN PoE port

on the PoE injector.

Wireless Gateway, infiNETEX®Wireless and ERWireless, International Version

oConnect the PoE injector to the LAN.

nConnect a CAT5e cable (not included) to the LAN port on the

PoE injector.

nConnect the other end of the CAT5e cable to the LAN.

oAttach the AC power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the PoE

injector and the other end into an active AC outlet.

Assign the RFChannel

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

LAN ports.

Before use, assign an RF channel to the CENI-GWEXER. The

CENI-GWEXER 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.

RFChannel(s) Within Wi-Fi Channel Adjacent to Wi-Fi Channel

11 - 14 1 -

15 (Default) - 1, 6

16 - 19 6 -

20 - 6, 11

21 - 24 11 -

25 - 11

26 - -

NOTE: Remember the following when pairing infiNET EX and ER

devices:

linfiNET EX devices automatically set their RF channel assignment

to match the channel of the gateway.

lER 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

The CENI-GWEXER allows Crestron infiNET EX and ER wireless devices

to communicate with a wired control system. To facilitate the

communication, the infiNET EX or ER wireless devices must be acquired

to a gateway that is in the system.

Crestron infiNET EX and ER devices can communicate with a

CENI-GWEXER after they have been acquired. A device can be acquired

to only one gateway. Acquire mode can be activated using Crestron

Toolbox software or the ACQUIRE button on the front panel.

NOTE:

lUse Crestron Toolbox software to set the RF channel before

starting the acquire process. The default RF channel is 15.

lER devices must be configured to match the channel setting on the

gateway.

lWait 15 seconds after powering up the CENI-GWEXER before

entering Acquire mode.

lIn an environment with multiple gateways, only one gateway should

be in Acquire mode at a time.

lThe CENI-GWEXER must be placed in Acquire mode before the

device is placed in Acquire mode.

To acquire an infiNET EX or ER device via the ACQUIRE button on the

CENI-GWEXER, perform the following procedure:

1. Press ACQUIRE on the CENI-GWEXER to enter Acquire mode. The

ACQUIRE LED lights to indicate that the unit is ready to acquire

infiNET EX and ER devices.

NOTE: Acquire mode automatically deactivates after 1 hour. Use

Crestron Toolbox software to change the timeout period.

2. Bring the infiNET EX or ER device within range of the gateway, and

place it in Acquire mode as described in its manual. Once it enters

Acquire mode, the device will be acquired within 2 minutes.

3. Repeat step 2 for each infiNET EX or ER device that needs to be

acquired.

4. Press ACQUIRE on the CENI-GWEXER to exit Acquire mode. The

ACQUIRE LED turns off.
