Cable Box Settings

Tap the gear button next to the device name to display a Settings dialog box for the cable box. The About tab is selected and displays the device information.

Control

• For IR controlled cable boxes, select the IR port used to control the cable box.

  

• For TCP controlled cable boxes:

  

  • IP Address/Hostname: The IP address or hostname of the device.

    NOTE: Each TCP controlled device should use a static or reserved IP address.

  • IP Port: The port number of the device.
  • Requires Authentication: If the device requires authentication, select the check box next to Requires Authentication and then enter the username and password for the device.

Setup

• Power Up Time (seconds): The amount of time that must pass between turning on the device and selecting an input. The value can be set between 1 and 600 seconds. Unexpected functionality may occur if the value is set too low.
• Power Down Time (seconds): The amount of time that must pass between turning off the device and turning it back on. The value can be set between 1 and 600 seconds. Unexpected functionality may occur if the value is set too low.
• Reset to Defaults: Sets the fields in the Setup tab to their default values.

• Always keep device on: Select the check box to prevent the device from turning off after 60 seconds. The default for Always keep device on is disabled.

  NOTES:

  Existing devices in upgraded systems will have "keep sources on" disabled to maintain their current functionality in Pyng. The Installer can then enable it as needed.

  When Always keep device on is disabled:

  • Keep device on when not in use is disabled by default.

  • Startup behavior:

    • For sources with power state feedback, the source power state is set to reflect the current source power state (on or off).
    • For sources that do not support power state feedback, the source power state is assumed to be off.
    • For sources that do not have power commands, the source power state is assumed to be on.
  • If the source is off when routed, then the source will be turned on using either the discrete Power On command or the Toggle Power command.
  • If the source is no longer routed to any room, the source is turned off after 60 seconds.

  When Always keep device on is enabled:

  • Startup behavior.
    • For sources with power state feedback, if the source is off then it will be turned on automatically. If the source is on, no action will be taken.
    • If the source does not have power feedback and supports discrete power commands, the PowerOn command is sent to the device and the power state is set to on. Turning the source on at startup minimizes the wait-time for the device to warm up.
    • If the source does not have power feedback and only supports toggle power commands, the PowerToggle command is not sent to the device and the power state is set to on. This prevents a source that is on from being turned off. If the source is not on, the user can turn on the source in the Crestron Home user interface.
    • If the source does not have any power commands, the power state is set to on.
  • If the source supports power feedback and is off when routed, the source will be turned on. This can occur if the source was manually powered off.
  • If the source is no longer routed to any room, the source remains on.

Provider

• Change the TV Provider: Select the new TV provider for the cable box.
• Add a new TV Provider: Tap the + Add New button and then enter the Country and Zip Code/Postal Code information for the customer's house. Select the cable provider from the list that is displayed and then tap Add.
• Delete a TV Provider: Tap the delete icon and then Yes to confirm. The TV provider is removed for the entire house. Tap No to keep the TV provider.
