Make the necessary connection as called out in the illustrations that follow this paragraph. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 6 before attaching the 4-position terminal block connector from the C2N-IRGW-1G or connecting the pigtail wires from the C2N-IRGW-F. Apply power after the connection has been made.
(complete with batteries and manufacturer's manual). The control system should be running a valid SIMPL Windows program that includes the C2N-IRGW-1G or C2N-IRGW-F at the proper Net ID so that it can be polled. 1. Using Cresnet cable, attach the 4-position terminal block connector from the C2N-IRGW-1G or connect the pigtail wires from the C2N-IRGW-F to the Crestron control system (NET port).
