1. For more information on internal memory, refer to "2-Series Memory & Directory Structure" in the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals). 2. CP2E only.
2-Series Engine
At the heart of the CP2 & CP2E is the powerful 32-bit Freescale ColdFire® processor. Crestron's exclusive enhanced real-time operating system makes the CP2 & CP2E the fastest, most reliable control systems available.
Cresnet®
Cresnet is the communications backbone for many Crestron touchpanels, keypads, lighting controls and other devices. The Cresnet bus is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides rock-solid bidirectional communication and power for up to 252 Cresnet devices.

Cresnet Slave Mode
Crestron CP2 & CP2E
Selectable Cresnet Slave Mode enables the CP2 & CP2E to be configured as Cresnet slave devices, effectively transforming them into Cresnet expansion modules. Such flexibility can offer a cost-effective solution for system expansion, providing a host of additional control ports in a single module.
Ethernet (CP2E only)
Crestron pioneered the IP-based control system to harness the vast possibilities of Ethernet and the Internet for remote control, monitoring, programming and diagnostics. The CP2E is designed to deliver the world's most advanced IP control solution. A choice of single or dual port Ethernet cards enables a full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet connection with built-in Web server and email client and support for both static and dynamic IP addressing.
Crestron e-Control®2 (CP2E only)
Crestron's award-winning e-Control 2 XPanel solutions offer the most flexible range of IP control possibilities available. Using a Windows® computer or CE/PocketPCTM PDA device, e-Control 2 provides an amazing control GUI that looks and behaves just like a Crestron Isys® touchpanel.
Crestron RoomView® (CP2E only)
Every Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control system works directly with Crestron's exclusive RoomView Help Desk software for the industry's most comprehensive facility-wide asset management solution.
SSL (CP2E only)
All Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control systems support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the industry standard for protecting sensitive network communications.
