SNMPV3 Support
Built-in SNMP V3 support permits integration with third-party IT management software,
allowing network administrators to manage and control Crestron systems on the network in an
IT-friendly format.
Control Card Expansion Slots
Additional control ports can be added to the AV4 using control cards and the CAGE3 control
card expansion cage. The CAGE3 accessory installs into the AV4, providing three control card
expansion slots on the AV4 rear panel. Adding the CAGE3 option affords significant expansion
capability without requiring any additional rack space.
BACnet Support
Native support for the BACnet communication protocol provides a direct interface to third-party
building management systems over Ethernet, simplifying integration with HVAC, security, and
other systems. Using BACnet, each system runs independently but communicates together on
one platform.

AppleHomeKit Integration
The AV4 supports integration with an Apple® HomeKit® technology system. Once the AV4 is
paired with a HomeKit system via SIMPLprogramming, a Crestron TSR-310 can be used to
control supported Apple devices. Apairing QRcode is affixed to the AV4 that makes it easy to
pair the control system directly to the Apple Home app.

Notes:
1. The following connections comply with IEC 61000-4-5 Installation Class 4 surge immunity levels: COM 1–6, I/O 1–
8, NET, LAN, and CONTROL SUBNET.
2. A BACnet and IP license is required. A free license is available to support up to 50 BACnet objects on a single
4-Series control system. Support for more than 50 BACnet objects requires the purchase of one
SW-3SERIES-BACNET-50+ license. The AV4 supports a maximum of 2000 BACnet objects when dedicated for
BACnet use only. Actual capabilities are contingent upon the overall program size and complexity. To obtain the
license, visit www.crestron.com/bacnetlicense.
3. This feature is only available when using the TSR-310. Other Crestron touch screens, handheld remotes, and
keypads are not supported. For these interfaces, traditional IR or CEC control must be used to control supported
Apple devices.
