CENI-GWEXER
Wireless Gateway
Installation Guide
For optimum performance when installing multiple CENI-GWEXERs near each other:
• Do not place multiple gateways on the same channel.
• Place gateways at least 4.6 meters (15 feet) apart.
For optimum performance when installing a CENI-GWEXER:
• Place gateways at least 4.6 meters (15 feet) from the nearest Wi-Fi
®
access point.
• Place gateways at least 1.8 meters (6 feet) from the nearest Bluetooth
®
device.

Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustrations that follow. Apply power
after all connections have been made.
NOTE: When making connections to the CENI-GWEXER, use Crestron power supplies
for Crestron equipment.
NOTE: The antenna must be attached directly to the antenna connector. It can be
extended with an optional ANT-EXT-10 Antenna Extender (sold separately).
Hardware Connections for the CENI-GWEXER
Description
The Crestron
®
CENI-GWEXER is a 2-way RF wireless transceiver designed for use with
products that use the inNET EX
®
wireless communications protocol. It is also compatible
with Extended Range (ER) wireless devices. A single CENI-GWEXER gateway enables an
entire wireless network of Crestron remotes, keypads, lighting dimmers, motorized
shades, thermostats, door locks, and other devices to communicate with a Crestron
control system.
Installation
NOTES: Observe the following points:
• This product must be installed and used in accordance with appropriate electrical
codes and regulations.
• This product must be installed by a qualied electrician.
NOTE: Before using the CENI-GWEXER, ensure the device is using the latest rmware.
Check for the latest CENI-GWEXER rmware at www.crestron.com/rmware. Load the
rmware onto the device using Crestron Toolbox™ software.
The CENI-GWEXER can be mounted to a DIN rail or any vertical, at surface. It can also
be placed on any at, level surface. Refer to the illustrations below for DIN rail or any
vertical, at surface mounting examples.
NOTE: Do not install this gateway within 4.6 meters (15 feet) of other inNET EX
gateways, Crestron ER gateways, or Wi-Fi access points.
NOTE: The CENI-GWEXER can also be rack mounted. For rack mount installation, refer
to the RMK-IFE-1U Installation Guide (Doc. 7627) at www.crestron.com/manuals.

If using a CENI-GWEXER-PWE, perform the following.
1. Attach the supplied ac power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the PoE (Power
over Ethernet) injector.
2. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the LAN port of the PoE injector to the LAN.
3. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the LAN POE port of the PoE injector to the LAN PoE
port of the CENI-GWEXER.
4. Insert the other end of the power cord into an active ac outlet.
