Gateway channel 20 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 6 and 11.
l
Gateway channels 21 through 24 are within the Wi-Fi channel 11band.
l
Gateway channel 25 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channel 11.
l
Gateway 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.
Acquire Wireless Devices (MC4/MC4-I Only)
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 ACQUIRE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:
l
Use Crestron Toolbox to set the RF channel before starting the acquiring process.
Refer to Initial Setup (on page103).
l
Acquire mode can be activated approximately 15 seconds after power is applied to the
control system.
l
The 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 or 15 m), 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.
