DigitalMedia 8G+™ Transmitter 201 Crestron DM-TX-201-C
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the DM network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
CAUTION: Failure to use Crestron power supplies could cause equipment
damage or void the Crestron warranty.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
• For DM 8G+ wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between devices, use
Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL
DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D cable, or generic
CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and connectors are
recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical
noise which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to
the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Infrastructure Guide (Doc.
4556) for complete wiring guidelines and to the Crestron DigitalMedia
Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete system design guidelines. The
manuals are available from the Crestron Web site at
www.crestron.com/dmresources.
The DM-TX-201-C also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, media server, and other IP-based devices. For
general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control
®
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available from the Crestron Web site (
www.crestron.com/manuals). For information
specifically related to Ethernet connectivity using DigitalMedia devices, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron IP Considerations Guide for the IT Professional (Doc.
4579), which is also available from the Crestron Web site
(
www.crestron.com/dmresources).
Identity Code
NOTE: In the SIMPL Windows program, when the DM-TX-201-C is dropped onto
an input card of a DM switcher, its IP ID is assigned automatically and does not
require additional programming or configuration. Use the information below when
the DM-TX-201-C is dropped directly into an Ethernet slot on the control system in
SIMPL Windows without a DM switcher.
The IP ID is set within the DM-TX-201-C IP table using Crestron Toolbox.
For information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP
IDs of multiple DM-TX-201-C devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
