Software Development Kit &
CNX Gateway
Introduction
Operations Guide - DOC. 5778A
Software Development Kit & CNX Gateway
Crestron e-control consists of two separate products – the Software Development Kit
(SDK) and the CNX Gateway. The SDK is a free download containing tools for
developing demo webpages or Visual Basic programs that have the potential to
communicate with Crestron CNX equipment. The CNX Gateway must be purchased
and licensed from Crestron. It is a software package that performs the actual
communication between the code developed by the SDK and the CNX equipment.
Demos created with the SDK will not be fully functional without the CNX Gateway
to "bridge" the communication gap.
For convenience, the CNX Gateway software package includes all the SDK tools.
What is Crestron e-control Software Development
Kit?
The Crestron e-control SDK is a complete software development kit, rather than a
standalone product. It contains software components, examples, and directions for
writing your own custom user interface to Crestron's control systems and equipment.
The examples ARE finished products that actually work, but are probably too simple
for typical applications.
The Crestron e-control SDK encompasses two different technologies. You can
choose the one which best suits your application and your development capabilities.
The Crestron e-control SDK has both Web pages that contain compiled Java classes
that are usable from most browsers and an ActiveX control (dubbed
"ActiveCNX™") that is usable from Visual Basic, Internet Explorer, or any other
ActiveX compatible development environment such as Visual C++.
