Enterprise Deployment Options

Crestron has two options for deploying multiple AirMedia receivers across an enterprise. These tools can assist in deploying any number of receivers that an organization may need to deploy.

XiO Cloud® Service

The XiO Cloud® service allows supported devices across an enterprise to be managed and configured from one central, secure location in the cloud. The device is configured to connect to the service by default.

NOTE: An XiO Cloud account is required to use the service. To register for an XiO Cloud account, refer to www.crestron.com/Support/Tools/Licensing-Registration/XiO-Account-Registration.

To connect the device to the XiO Cloud service:

  1. Record the MAC address and serial number that are labeled on the shipping box or the device. The MAC address and serial number are required to add the device to the XiO Cloud service.

    2. NOTE: If the device has multiple MAC addresses, use the MAC address that is providing the primary connection back to the network. For most devices, the Ethernet MAC address should be used. However, if your device is connecting to the network over a different protocol (such as Wi-Fi® communications), use the MAC address for that protocol instead.

  2. Log in to your XiO Cloud account at portal.crestron.io.
  3. Claim the device to the XiO Cloud service as described in the XiO Cloud User Guide.

Once the device is claimed, associate it with a room to view its status and settings. For more information, refer to the XiO Cloud User Guide.

Crestron Deployment Tool for PowerShell® Software

Crestron has developed a tool for customers without the ability to use CPS to assist in deploying multiple devices without the need to configure each device individually. With this tool, an administrator has the ability to input all of the settings to be configured on multiple receivers, and then use PowerShell® task‑based command‑line shell and scripting language to configure the devices across a local network.
