Description Crestron e-Schedule is a Web-based software package for event scheduling and real-time control of media resources across multiple rooms. It replaces Crestron SchoolNet with a much more flexible and robust system, and includes the following features: · · · · · · · · · Event scheduling and conflict checking of media resources, rooms and source devices. Scheduling of automatic transport functions such as Source Select, Play and Rewind. [. . . ] · Scheduler Gateway IP Address--specifies the IP Address of the CNX Gateway computer for the Real-Time Engine. (See Web Server Gateway IP Address, below. ) Web Server Gateway IP Address--specifies the IP Address of the CNX Gateway computer for the Web Server. Check for scheduled events every `n' seconds--configures the Real-Time Engine to check for scheduled events at the specified interval. (See NOTE, below. ) · · NOTE: Crestron recommends using the default settings for periodic system checks, as lengthening or shortening the time interval may adversely affect system response. Programmer's Guide e-Schedule ­ DOC. 5919 · 27 Crestron e-Schedule Programmer's Guide Connections The Current Connections area of the Connections tab lists the IP Addresses of all hardware devices that are configured to run with the RealTime Engine. Each field also displays the connection status and CNX Gateway connection handle, for debugging purposes. Check for new connections every `n' seconds--since set-top boxes and browsers are likely to be dynamically connected and disconnected to the system at any time, the Real-Time Engine will continuously poll all hardware at the specified interval, to make sure a connection is active and valid. (See NOTE, below. ) NOTE: Crestron recommends using the default settings for periodic system checks, as lengthening or shortening the time interval may adversely affect system response. Programmer's Guide e-Schedule ­ DOC. 5919 · 28 Crestron e-Schedule Programmer's Guide Diagnostic Utilities The Configuration menu of the Real-Time Engine application window includes two options for debugging, Watch Signals and Configuration. Watch Signals The Watch Signals window displays information about all the signals that the Real-Time Engine receives and transmits. As stated previously, all signals are defined as either input to the Scheduler or output from the Scheduler, and this is specified in the I/O field. The IO Type field gives the type of signal--digital, analog or serial. This should match the Which CNX field that displays the CNX Interface. The Watch Signals window also gives the join number and description of all commands. NOTE: The "Watch Signals" window should only be used for debugging, since the system slows down dramatically when this window is open. Programmer's Guide e-Schedule ­ DOC. 5919 · 29 Crestron e-Schedule Configuration Programmer's Guide The "Configuration Diagnostics" dialog box includes tabs for each component of the e-Schedule system. Configuration diagnostics should be reviewed whenever the e-Schedule databases are created, modified, or updated. Select a device from the display list to view information about the corresponding entries as they appear in the configuration databases. NOTE: Whenever a new e-Schedule version is installed or upgraded the Database Update Utility is automotically launched. Crestron recommends viewing the Configuration Diagnostics after this utility runs.
