The Configuration Manager consists of four separate view windows (three of which
are sub-windows of System Views).
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. These components, or devices,
are grouped functionally by device type. Expand the folder for the device you require
by clicking on the plus sign (collapse the folder by clicking the minus sign).
Device Library groups, with a brief explanation of each:
•
Control Systems: The "brain" of each Crestron system; a Control
System contains the microprocessor, runs the operating system,
and executes the SIMPL Windows program.
•
Ethernet Control Modules: This refers to the Ethernet expansion
cards.
•
Expansion Module: This refers to the Crestron CNIORACK, a
device used to expand the functionality of the CNRACK by
providing for use of additional cards.
•
Lighting: Various devices that make up lighting systems, all of
which connect to the Cresnet network.
