Cresnet® Network Design Guide
The Cresnet™ communications protocol is designed for Crestron® devices that do not require the higher speeds of Ethernet. Cresnet provides a dependable and flexible wiring solution, allowing multiple devices to be wired together in parallel using various network topologies. A single Cresnet server can provide power and data to up to 25 client devices. Cresnet networks can be further expanded using Cresnet hubs and Ethernet‑to‑Cresnet bridges.
