Migrate Cresnet® Wired Devices to an Ethernet-to-Cresnet Bridge

To migrate Cresnet® wired devices to an Ethernet-to-Cresnet bridge:

Tip: The physical Cresnet connection must be moved before migrating the system data. Otherwise, the replace device process will need to be followed for each device. If the device does not support the Replace Device function, it will need to be readded and programming will be lost.

  1. Use the Crestron Home Setup to add an Ethernet-to-Cresnet bridge to the system. For details, refer to Gateways and Processors.

  2. Disconnect the Cresnet cable connections:

    1. Disconnect the Cresnet cable from the Cresnet ports on the processor.

    2. In the Crestron Home Setup app, go to Pair Devices > Internal Cresnet Gateway and then scan for devices. The Cresnet devices will appear to be offline or missing. For details, refer to Crestron Wired and Wi-Fi Devices.

  3. Connect the Cresnet cable that was disconnected from the control processor's Cresnet port to a Cresnet port on the Ethernet-to-Cresnet Bridge.

  4. In the Crestron Home Setup app, go to Pair devices, select the Ethernet-to-Cresnet bridge, and then scan for devices. The Cresnet devices will be identified and come back online. For details, refer to Crestron Wired and Wi-Fi Devices.

  5. Create a Deploy code and migrate the system data. For details, refer to Transfer Data using a Deploy Code (Recommended).
