Robust Ethernet & IP Control
IP technology is the heart of Core 3, so it should be no surprise that its networking
abilities are second to none. High-speed Ethernet connectivity (10/100 MBps on
CP3, Gigabit on the CP3N) enables integration with IP-controllable devices and
allows the CP3 to be part of a larger managed control network. Whether residing on
a sensitive corporate LAN, a home network, or accessing the Internet through a cable
modem, the CP3 provides secure, reliable interconnectivity with IP-enabled touch
screens, computers, mobile devices, video displays, Blu-ray Disc
servers, security systems, lighting, HVAC, and other equipment — whether on
premises or across the globe.
Dedicated Control Subnet (CP3N Only)
The Crestron Control Subnet is a Gigabit Ethernet network dedicated to Crestron
devices. Via the CP3N's CONTROL SUBNET port, an installer may simply
connect a single touch screen or wireless gateway, or add a Crestron PoE switch
(CEN-SW-POE-5, CEN-SW-POE-16, or CEN-SWPOE-24)* to handle multiple
touch screens, gateways, AV components and other devices. Auto-configuration of
the entire subnet is performed by the CP3N, discovering each device and assigning
IP addresses without any extra effort from the installer.
A separate LAN port on the CP3N provides a single-point connection to the
customer's LAN, requiring just one IP address for the complete control system. The
LAN port allows full interconnectivity between devices on the local subnet with
other devices, systems, servers, and WAN/Internet connections outside the local
subnet. For sensitive applications that require absolute security, the entire Control
Subnet can be completely isolated from the customer's LAN using Isolation mode.
e-Control Remote Access
Years ago, Crestron pioneered the world's first IP-based control system unleashing
vast new possibilities for controlling, monitoring, and managing integrated systems
over a LAN, WAN, and the Internet. Today, a variety of e-Control solutions offer
more ways than ever to control an integrated system.
With e-Control, anything in the home or workplace can be controlled from anywhere
in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Built-in Core 3 UI XPanel
technology affords virtual touch screen control through any popular Web browser
running on a laptop or desktop computer. Our Crestron Mobile Pro
Crestron touch screen experience to an iPhone, iPad, or Android device letting one
safely monitor and control an entire facility using the one device that goes
everywhere.
Remote access is simplified using the myCrestron Dynamic DNS service to establish
a friendly URL for the system. If technical support is needed, a Crestron system
installer can perform diagnostics and implement updates to the system remotely
without coming on site.
