CEN-GWEXERs are a two-way radiofrequency (RF) transceivers that allow Crestron infinetEX and Extended Range wireless devices to communicate with the control processor over Ethernet. They are for Crestron wireless systems what DIN-CENCN-2s are for wired Cresnet systems.

For SHOWRUNNER™ installations, the IP address of the CEN-GWEXER does not matter as long as it is in the same range as the processor and does not conflict with any other devices on the network. Instead, CEN-GWEXERs are identified to the processor via their IP-ID. Note that which infinetEX devices are landed at which CEN-GWEXER matters, and if devices are moved between CEN-GWEXERs then the configuration will need to be updated (see below). Chief Integrations typically provides an SRTakeoff.xlsx spreadsheet with an IP Table tab that lists all the CEN-GWEXER IP-IDs in the program. If no takeoff is provided, then the processor's IP table can be checked by running the ipt -t command from the processor after the configuration is loaded. DIN-CENCN-2's will typically have IP-IDs in the "Cx" range.

Moving/Removing Devices (Unacquiring Devices)

When a wireless Crestron device is acquired to a new gateway using the typical acquiring process described above, it will automatically forget the previously connected gateway. The gateway itself, however, must manually "forget" the previously connected device before a newly acquired and addressed device will function correctly. This is necessary whether the originally connected device is moved or if the originally corrected device has failed and is being replaced.
