Optional on AV2. 2-Series Engine At the heart of the AV2 & PRO2 is the powerful 32-bit Freescale ColdFire processor. Crestron's exclusive enhanced real-time operating system makes the AV2 & PRO2 the fastest, most reliable control systems available.
2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System cards (expansion cage option required for AV2). At a blazing 300 Mbps, the Z-Bus supports Fast Ethernet with future support for other emerging technologies. Cresnet Cresnet is the communications backbone for many Crestron touchpanels, keypads, lighting controls and other devices.

These products are Listed to applicable UL Standards and requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. As of the date of manufacture, the AV2 & PRO2 have been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.
Identity Code Net ID The Net IDs of the AV2 & PRO2 have been factory set to 02. This Net ID is defined as the “Master” control system. The Net IDs of multiple AV2 & PRO2 devices in the same system must be unique; this means there will be a master/slave relationship between units (only the Net ID of the master will be left at 02).
Rack Mounting The AV2 & PRO2 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two “ears” are provided with the AV2 & PRO2 so that the units can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears to the unit.
Complete the following procedures to remove the memory card. Power does not have to be disconnected to remove memory. 12 • 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System: AV2 & PRO2 1. To utilize the bussing strip, determine the number of relays to be commoned for the equipment being installed.

SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file. Programming with SIMPL Windows NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the AV2 & PRO2, it is recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring a system. SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control systems.
Detail View. A description for each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1). Example Program An example program for the AV2 & PRO2 is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms).

ETHERNET • Establish direct serial communication between AV2 or PRO2 and PC. • Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the AV2 or PRO2 via the Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable DHCP. • Confirm Ethernet connections between AV2 or PRO2 and PC. If connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
When using the AV2 or PRO2 as a “slave”, edit the “master” control system’s IP table to include an entry for the slave AV2 or PRO2. The entry should list the AV2 or PRO2’s IP ID (specified on the AV2’s or PRO2’s IP table) and the internal gateway IP address 127.0.0.1.
Crestron control systems are entirely custom- programmable to attain the exact functionality required. The AV2 is an economical version of the PRO2, providing all the features and performance of the PRO2 without the front panel LCD display and pushbuttons. The AV2 is perfect for medium to large-scale commercial and residential control applications.
