[. . . ] When making network connections to a control system or Cresnet peripherals, refer to "Network Wiring" on page 8. Hardware Hookup for the C2N-MNETGW ANTENNA: COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER INFINET DEVICES CRESNET: TO CONTROL SYSTEM AND OTHER CRESNET DEVICES NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. For information of obtaining optimum reception, refer to "Appendix B: Optimum RF Reception Guidelines" on page 39. 20 · infiNETTM Gateway/Transceiver: C2N-MNETGW Operations Guide - DOC. 6317 Crestron C2N-MNETGW infiNETTM Gateway/Transceiver Programming Software Have a question or comment about Crestron software?Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) can be viewed in the Online Help section of the Crestron website.

Setup is easy thanks to Crestron's Windows-based programming software. Crestron's D3 Pro software or SystemBuilder software can create a complete project, with no special programming required. While traditional programming tools can still be used to program a system, D3 Pro and SystemBuilder can be used to easily complete all necessary programming for a base system including all touchpanel screens and the control system program. The program output of D3 Pro and SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros and templates. Once D3 Pro and/or Systembuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and program logic can be customized in D3 Pro and/or Systembuilder or can be easily modified with Crestron development tools (i. e. , SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools® Pro-e (VT Pro-e) software packages). D3 Pro and SystemBuilder come with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel, this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can then be used by D3 Pro or SystemBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded into the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with the D3 Pro and/or SystemBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs. NOTE: Crestron recommends the use of D3 Pro or SystemBuilder for programming an infiNET system.
