QM Network Wiring

When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination
point (e.g., QM-FTCC) and a QM endpoint (e.g., QM-RMCRX-BA) cannot
have more than two midpoints (e.g., QM-MD7x2 or other QM switchers). Refer
to the following diagram when configuring a QM network. Refer to Appendix B
on page 55 for additional QuickMedia information.

Crestron Toolbox

The Crestron Toolbox (replacement for Crestron Viewport, you may continue to
use Viewport if desired) is a broad-based software package that accomplishes
multiple system tasks, primarily using an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between
a PC and one or more Crestron control systems.
You can use the Crestron Toolbox to:
Observe system processes.
•
Upload operating systems and firmware.
•
Upload programs and touchpanel projects.
•
Set or change device Network IDs.
•
Change serial numbers.
•
Run scripts to automate tasks.
•
Perform system diagnostics, and much more.
•
The Crestron Toolbox allows you to perform these functions using simple
graphical views and click and drag methods.

Identity Code

Every piece of equipment and user interface within the network requires a
unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers
from 03 to FE (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs
reside within all Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as
specified in the software (SIMPL Windows) that runs the system. Refer to
"Setting the Net ID in Device Settings" on page 33 for details of the SIMPL
Windows procedure.
The Net ID of the QM-FTCC has been factory set to 1A. The Net IDs of
multiple QM-FTCCs in the same system must be unique. Net IDs can be
