Installation & Operations Guide – DOC. 5728C
Crestron Network Analyzer
The Network Analyzer application is designed to help advanced programmers and
installation technicians diagnose network problems.
Detail View
Located on the right hand side of the Program Manager, Detail View displays
devices and symbols so the input and output signals are visible. This is where
programmers will name input/output signals.
Device Library
The Device Library is the master list of hardware components available to "build"
your control system. This list of devices allows programmers to select the hardware
and drag and drop it into the Network System view or add to the program by right
mouse click menus. These components, or devices, are grouped functionally by
device type.

Device Symbols

Device symbols represent a number of Crestron control devices that can be included
in programming. They can be placed into or deleted from the program in the
Configuration Manger section of SIMPL Windows only.
DPA
Direct Processor Access (DPA) is an exclusive feature of CNX systems. It provides
high-speed access directly to the processor maintaining high bandwidth network
connections. Currently, Crestron offers a 10 BaseT Ethernet card as a DPA port. All
CNX systems have an IP address and work seamlessly with network technology.
Ethernet Hub
Inexpensive 4 to 16 port devices that provide a way to physically tap into an existing
Ethernet connection. They expand the plugs available, but do not perform any
packet routing.
Feedback
Feedback lets the user know that a button press has registered with the system. This
is especially important for TouchPanels, where the user cannot tell from feel alone
whether they pressed in the right spot.
Front Panel Editor
Front Panel Editor is launched from SIMPL Windows and allows the CNX front
panels to be programmed with certain diagnostic, testing, and network device
information. Select Project | Front Panel Editor.
Gateway
A router that sends packets within the local network to destinations outside of the
local network, or receives them from outside and propagates them onto the local
network.
