Crestron Cresnet Network - Ethernet-To-Cresnet Bridge for CAEN Automation Enclosures

12 • Cresnet® Network Design Guide — Doc. 9292A
l
Features two isolated Cresnet subnets that each behave as a Cresnet server with its own
unique address space. Each subnet is capable of supporting 25 devices and provides six
connectors for terminating multiple wiring runs.
l
Offers versatile power options:
o
10 Wof power provided by PoE(Power over Ethernet) to both subnets, with up to
20 Wof power provided by PoE+.
o
75 Wof power provided by external power supplies to one or both subnets
depending on the configuration.
l
Diagnostic tools address many common Cresnet issues caused by wiring faults,
insufficient power, or too many client devices.
l
Provides a TESTbutton on the front panel that can be pressed to generate error codes on
the LEDindicators. Complete details for each error code can be viewed in a web browser
or via Crestron Toolbox™ software.
Ethernet-to-Cresnet Bridge for
CAENAutomation Enclosures
The CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE works with any Cresnet server to maximize the reliability of a
Cresnet network. The bridge can be mounted at the bottom of a CAEN, CAEN-MLO, or CAENIB
enclosure to provide a high-speed Ethernet interface between the enclosure and one or more
outboard Cresnet servers. It includes Cresnet and override connectivity for the CLX series
lighting control modules within the enclosure, and adds a separate isolated Cresnet subnet for
outboard Cresnet keypads, thermostats, sensors, and other Cresnet clients. It also allows those
Cresnet clients to be powered using a PoE, PoE+, or a 24VDC power source.
