Crestron Fusion Room Monitoring and Scheduling
Crestron Fusion software provides an integrated platform for creating smart buildings that save
energy and enhance worker productivity. As part of a complete managed network in a corporate
enterprise, college campus, convention center, or any other facility, the CP4N works with
Crestron Fusion to enable remote scheduling, monitoring, and control of rooms and technology
from a central help desk or mobile app. It also enables organizations to reduce energy
consumption by tracking real-time usage and automating control of AV, lighting, shades, and
HVAC. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/fusion.
XiOCloud Provisioning and Management
4-Series control systems leverage the power and flexibility of XiO Cloud services, enabling users
to remotely provision, monitor, and manage Crestron devices across an enterprise network. XiO
Cloud can be used to configure and load programs to the control system before it is received,
making the control system fully functional as soon as it is connected to the network. XiO Cloud is
built on the Microsoft® Azure® software platform and utilizes Microsoft's industry leading Azure
IoT Hub technology. XiO Cloud enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage
thousands of devices in the time it previously took to manage just one. Unlike other virtual
machine based cloud solutions, Azure services offer unlimited scalability to suit the ever growing
needs of an enterprise. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.
.AVFramework Software
The CP4N provides native support for the .AVFramework™ software program. .AV Framework
software is a web-based management solution that is used to deploy scalable Crestron®
enterprise room solutions without requiring any programming. For more information on the
capabilities supported by .AV Framework, visit www.crestron.com/avframework.
Enhanced Enterprise-Grade Security
The CP4N is an enterprise-class control processor that can be deployed across hundreds of
spaces and set up easily using a web browser, Crestron Toolbox™ software, or XiO Cloud. It
employs standard network security protocols, including 802.1X network access control, Active
Directory® service authentication, SSH, TLS, and HTTPS to ensure reliability and compliance with
your organization’s IT policies.
The CP4N is configured to meet Crestron's enhanced security standards right out of the box. The
CP4N ships with authentication turned on and requires creating an administrator account
before access is granted to device configuration and control interfaces.
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.
