Antenna
To connect the antennas:
l
Attach the EX/ER antenna to the ANTENNAEX/ER connector. The EX/ER antenna is
shorter than the SG antenna.
l
Attach the SG antenna to the ANTENNA SG connector. The SG antenna has two yellow
(CEN-GW1) or gray (CENI-GW1) bands around the top and is longer than the EX/ER
antenna.
To extend an antenna, use ANT-EXT-10 (sold separately).
Assign the RFChannel
Before use, assign an RF channel for SG wireless communications and an RF channel for infiNET
EX and ER wireless communications. To select the best RF channel, perform an energy scan. For
details, refer to Settings (on page26) in the product manual.
To assign the RF channel on the gateway, use the Web UI or the EasyConfig tool in Crestron
Toolbox™ software. For details, refer to Radio Setup (on page29) or Crestron Toolbox Help.
When selecting an RF channel for SG wireless communications, consider the following:
l
Each SG wireless gateway in the space must use a different RF channel.
l
SG devices set their RF channel to match the RF channel set on the gateway. If the SG RF
channel on the gateway is changed, the SG device automatically updates its RF channel to
match the gateway.
l
SG devices do not operate within the Wi-Fi® wireless spectrum.
When selecting an RF channel for infiNETEX® and ER wireless communications, consider the
following:
l
infiNETEXand ER wireless communications use the same RF channel.
l
The default and recommended RF channel is 15.
l
infiNETEXdevices set their RF channel to match the RF channel set on the gateway. If the
infiNETEXandERRF channel on the gateway is changed, the infiNETEXdevice
automatically updates its RF channel to match the gateway.
