Select user devices made by third-party manufacturers. These are usually
the devices being controlled and can include CD players, DVD players, TVs
and any other equipment the end user interfaces with using the control
system.
•
Configure the devices by specifying which units are connected to which
control cards or network modules. Assign ports, network addresses and IP
information, specify communication settings and document the system with
connection/installation notes.
•
Specify what VisionTools Pro-e projects are required for the system.
The Configuration Manager screen consists of three panes: a Device Library and
two System Views.
The Device Library is a tree with folders for all Crestron and third-party hardware,
including Crestron control systems, Cresnet and Ethernet control modules, plug-in
control cards, touchpanels, and user devices. You can view hardware by opening and
closing the folders in the tree. As you select devices the SIMPL Windows status bar
will display a description of the device.
The top System View pane is a "picture view" of the control system and any Cresnet
or Ethernet devices you add to the program. The lower System View is a tree of the
control system with numbered slots that you can open and close to view the network
addresses and configure each item.
