    STXI-1700C. Functional Summary NOTE: The STX-1700C is supplied with an optional bezel, two 5-button switch actuators, and ten black pushbuttons (blank), five for each side of the LCD screen. You can use these buttons to access any frequently used commands. Refer to Operations Guide - DOC.
  • Page 6: Roaming Feature

    Roaming Feature This feature allows an STX-1700C to extend its range from room to room by using multiple STRFGWX RF gateways. For proper communication, the RF Channel (refer to “Cresnet Interface Menu” on page 9) must be the same for the touchpanel with respect to all gateways in the system.

    Setup Applying Power The touchpanel can be powered via the ST-BTPN, while docked in the ST-DSN, or via the external power pack. Each of these items has its own Operations Guides which details proper usage. Refer to the table below for the required document number.
  • Page 11: Identity Codes

    Crestron STX-1700C Identity Codes The STX-1700C touchpanel uses three distinct types of identity (ID) codes for recognition within a Cresnet system: Cresnet identity (Net ID), RF ID, and RF CHANNEL. These codes are assigned to the touchpanel from the Cresnet Interface Menu when the unit is configured.
  • Page 12: Configuring The Touchpanel

    To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation. The MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held for about five seconds from the power off state.
  • Page 13 The touchpanel can be set to one of fifteen numbers; “1” is shown as an example in the illustration and is the default. The RF ID setting should match the value assigned to the STX-1700C touchpanel definition in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “C2Net-Device Slot in Configuration Manager”...
  • Page 14 ENABLED and DISABLED. With ENABLED selected, the display comes on when one of the “quick” pushbuttons is pressed. With DISABLED selected, the display stays off when a “quick” pushbutton is pressed (if touchpanel was off, it goes to standby). The default is DISABLED.
  • Page 15: Diagnostics Menu

    NOTE: If the external AC power pack is attached to the touchpanel and plugged into an active AC receptacle or if the touchpanel is resting in the docking station (ST-DSN) and plugged into an active AC receptacle, the panel does not power down when the power down timeout is achieved.

    Crestron’s True Blue Support, log in at http://support.crestron.com. First-time users will need to establish a user account. You can create a program that allows you to set up the STX-1700C to operate a Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron SystemBuilder™...
  • Page 17: Programming With The Crestron Systembuilder

    If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software. NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used. NOTE: The STX-1700C can operate as a wired panel when set correctly in the SIMPL program. This is recommended to troubleshoot the program code and to eliminate wireless/RF configuration issues before running the program in wireless mode.
  • Page 18 Expanded PRO2 System Tree C2Net-Device Slot in Configuration Manager To incorporate an STX-1700C into the system, a gateway device is required. The C2Net-Device Slot can accept a gateway such as the STRFGWX. Once a gateway is configured in a C2Net-Device Slot, the slot allows Cresnet communication between the touchpanel and the control system.
