Configuring the System

26 • Crestron SIMPL Windows
The way systems are "built" is by dragging hardware from the Device Library and
dropping it into Network Systems View. Start with a control system and add the
necessary devices. The system devices should be identified in the design
specification or the Device List from the Programming Design Kit. Refer to the
Crestron ControlCD for compatibility and specifications.

Selecting Hardware

Locate the necessary hardware by opening the folder that contains the component.
Open the folder by clicking on the plus (+) sign. Highlight the device you want by
clicking on it. Drag it to the Network System View area by holding down the left
mouse button while dragging the device. Release the mouse button to drop the
device.
Selecting Control System
Once a control system is chosen it will always be displayed in the Network System
View. The next step is to add the other devices that comprise the system such as
network devices and additional plug-in cards. Macros for controlling hundreds of
different pieces of equipment are available in the User Devices folder under Crestron
Database. Crestron continually updates this database to include the latest macros.
