Professional Audio Distribution Processor From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Set Network ID. The software checks the baud rate and then opens the "Set Network ID" window. In the "Set Network ID" window, select the CNX-PAD8A from the Current Network Devices text window. From the Choose the new network ID for the selected device (Hex): text box, select the new NET ID for the CNX-PAD8A. This will display the "ID command has been sent" window. In the "Command Complete" window, click OK. In the Current Network Devices text window, verify the new NET ID code. In the "Set Network ID" window, click Close. 4. 9. NOTE: The new NET ID code may also be verified by selecting Diagnostic | Report Network Devices in the Viewport. Repeat this procedure for each CNX-PAD8A to be added to the network. Programming The CNX-PAD8A can be programmed using various Crestron tools: Crestron Application BuilderTM (herein know as the AppBuilder) and SIMPL Windows. Each tool requires that the user have an unequal degree of programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i. e. , the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use advance techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job. Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder Easiest method of programming that by itself does not offer the greatest amount of flexibility. The Crestron AppBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and functionality. Crestron AppBuilder room audio configurations that utilize the CNX-PAD8A may include such scenarios as "Control/Amplification at head-end, at room, via local display device, or via 3rd party surround sound processor/receiver. " The Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all touchpanel projects and control system logic. The figure on the next page shows simplified block diagrams of typical room audio configurations utilizing the CNX-PAD8A. Operations Guide ­ DOC. 8174 Professional Audio Distribution Processor: CNX-PAD8A · 11 Professional Audio Distribution Processor Typical Room Audio Configurations for the CNX-PAD8A Crestron CNX-PAD8A The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database, User IR Database, and User Modules Directory. The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems. Programming with SIMPL Windows SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows environment. SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems. [. . . ] Authorized returns must be shipped freight prepaid to CRESTRON, 6 Volvo Drive, Rockleigh, N.
