Troubleshooting Communications

Use the following checklist if communication cannot be established with the control
processor.
1. Verify that Ethernet is enabled on the INTERFACE MENU.
2. Verify that you are using the correct cables. As described previously, an
RS-232 connection requires a straight-through serial cable. TCP/IP
connection requires a CAT5 cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
3. With a serial connection, verify that the correct COM port on the PC has
been selected. Some computers have more than one COM port; some may
be internal (e.g., for a modem). Consult the manufacturer's documentation
for further information about the COM ports on your PC.
4. Remove and reapply power to the control system.
5. If communication still cannot be established, contact Crestron customer
service.
