The C2ENET-1 is a single-port WAN/LAN card, while the C2ENET-2 is a dual-port WAN/LAN card that, once installed, activates a control system's built-in firewall, router and network address translator (NAT). Either card allows for remote diagnostics and upgrades, access to Crestron's network analyzer, and the ability to activate any device connected to a local control system via the Internet/Intranet. Throughout this guide, all references to C2ENET-1/-2 apply to both versions except where noted. As part of Crestron e-Control®, the C2ENET-1/-2 allows Internet communications to a control system. Web pages created in VisionTools® Pro-e (VT Pro-e) or other web page development tools can be uploaded and stored in the control system's file system. Refer to the latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide, (Doc. 6256) for more information. The C2ENET-1/-2 allows up to 30 IP connections to simultaneously communicate with a control system. A control system can be accessed through the World Wide Web using the Microsoft® Internet Explorer browser. For a Crestron e-Control demonstration, go to www.crestron-econtrol.com. Further information and additional Crestron e-Control software can be obtained from the Software Updates section (e-Control subsection) of Crestron's website (www.crestron.com).

Physical Description The C2ENET-1 and C2ENET-2 (refer to graphics below and on next page) are printed circuit boards (PCBs) fastened to aluminum faceplates. The cards are designed to be installed in a Z-BUS expansion slot on the 2-Series control systems. Two thumbscrews secure the cards. The C2ENET-1 contains one 8-wire RJ-45 Ethernet/LAN port. The C2ENET-2 contains two 8-wire RJ-45 ports (LAN A and LAN B). The port(s) is used for connection using an Ethernet cable (refer to cable connection example on page 4) to the Ethernet.
