Robust Ethernet & IP Control
IP technology is the heart of Core 3, so it should be no surprise that its networking
abilities are second to none. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity enables integration with
IP-controllable devices and allows the AV3 and PRO3 to be part of a larger managed
control network. Whether residing on a sensitive corporate LAN, a home network, or
accessing the Internet through a cable modem, the AV3 and PRO3 provide secure,
reliable interconnectivity with IP-enabled touch screens, computers, mobile devices,
video displays, Blu-ray Disc
®
players, media servers, security systems, lighting,
HVAC, and other equipment — whether on premises or across the globe.
Dedicated Control Subnet
The Crestron Control Subnet is a Gigabit Ethernet network dedicated to Crestron
devices. Via the AV3 or PRO3’s Control Subnet port, an installer may simply
connect a single touch screen or wireless gateway, or add a Crestron PoE switch
(CEN-SW-POE-5, CEN-SW-POE-16, or CEN-SWPOE-24)* to handle multiple
touch screens, gateways, AV components and other devices. Auto-configuration of
the entire subnet is performed by the AV3 or PRO3, discovering each device and
assigning IP addresses without any extra effort from the installer.
A separate LAN port on the AV3 and PRO3 provides a single-point connection to
the customer’s LAN, requiring just one IP address for the complete control system.
The LAN port allows full interconnectivity between devices on the local subnet with
other devices, systems, servers, and WAN/Internet connections outside the local
subnet. For sensitive applications that require absolute security, the entire Control
Subnet can be completely isolated from the customer’s LAN using Isolation mode.
e-Control Remote Access
Years ago, Crestron pioneered the world’s first IP-based control system unleashing
vast new possibilities for controlling, monitoring, and managing integrated systems
over a LAN, WAN, and the Internet. Today, our many e-Control solutions offer
more ways than ever for our users to control their worlds the way they want.
With e-Control, anything in a home or workplace can be controlled from anywhere
in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Built-in Core 3 UI XPanel
technology affords virtual touch screen control through any popular Web browser
running on a laptop or desktop computer. Our Crestron Mobile Pro
®
app delivers the
Crestron touch screen experience to an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, allowing
safe monitoring and control of an entire facility using the one device that goes
everywhere.
Remote access is simplified using the myCrestron Dynamic DNS service to establish
a friendly URL for the home system. If technical support is ever needed, a Crestron
system installer can even perform diagnostics and implement updates to the system
remotely without coming on site.
Fusion RV and SNMP
As part of a complete managed network in a corporate enterprise, college campus,
convention center or any other facility, the AV3 and PRO3 work integrally with
Crestron Fusion RV Remote Asset Management Software to enable remote
scheduling, monitoring, and control of rooms and technology from a central help
desk. Built-in SNMP support enables integration with third-party network
management software, allowing control and monitoring in a format that is familiar to
IT personnel.
