[. . . ] 5847A Two-Way RF Transceiver: TPS-RFGWX · 9 Two-Way RF Transceiver Crestron TPS-RFGWX These settings are made from a PC via the Crestron Viewport. Either launch the stand-alone version of Viewport, or start SIMPL Windows and from the menu bar, select Tools | Viewport. The software checks the baud rate and then opens the "RFGWX Channel ID" window as shown below. 2. "RFGWX Channel ID" Window 3. 4. In the top portion of the "RFGWX Channel ID" window, select the network ID of the gateway that requires the RF channel to be set. In the middle portion of the window, select the desired channel ID for each gateway (up to 16) and all touchpanels (up to 15) associated with that gateway. In the bottom portion of the window, select the desired band for the gateway. The choices correspond with the band names shown in the table on the next page. The table shows the 802. 11b channels within each band that are occupied by the STX-1700CXP. Selection of a band is based on a number of factors, including the need to avoid interference with nearby RF devices, and compliance with local communication laws. In the US, Crestron recommends using Bands 5 (USA comp 1) through 9 (USA comp 5). Bands 1 through 4 (France, Spain, Japan, and Canada) are intended for use in Cresnet systems outside the US. The default setting is Band 0, USA (original), which is not Wi-Fi friendly. Note that at this setting, the gateway can communicate with the touchpanels whether they are Wi-Fi friendly or not, since Band 0 is the default setting for both versions. 10 · Two-Way RF Transceiver: TPS-RFGWX Operations Guide - DOC.

The unmarked channels can be used by other devices communicating near the Cresnet system, thus minimizing interference. 5. Select or deselect the Low Power Mode check box as needed. NOTE: The band setting of the TPS-RFGWX and the touchpanel must match in order for them to communicate. From the Viewport menu, select Diagnostics | Report Network Devices and verify that the unit has the desired channel ID. Repeat this procedure for each TPS-RFGWX to be added to the Cresnet system. Hardware Hookup Refer to the hookup diagram below, which shows the TPS-RFGWX connections to the Cresnet system. NOTE: To prevent unit-to-unit RF interference, multiple gateway/transceivers operating at the same frequencies (TPS-RFGWXs and/or Crestron CNRFGWXs) should not be installed within three to five feet of each other. Refer to "Specifications" of each operations guide for the communications frequency of each device. NOTE: Refer to "Network Wiring" on page 8 when making connections to the ports labeled NET.
