Re: NAX and NVX over VLANs with Home
Thanks Michael,
I agree totally with your assessment. If we set up a FQDN with DHCP and DNS on a server, everything would just work. I will say that with Crestron's stack implementation, SSL does work with non-Crestron Home systems. I have successfully used Crestron's "setcsauthentication" on many statically assigned devices without problems. My opinion is that Crestron's VLAN "solution" for CH is flawed. If they would allow us to treat the processor like a trunked device, then everything would work fine. The Crestron processor would just add the appropriate VLAN flags to any traffic not on its primary VLAN. The whole point of Crestron Home is that is should be easier to implement. |

Re: NAX and NVX over VLANs with Home
This may or may not apply, but my experience outside the Crestron world is that when you go from a hostname to an IP address, you have a chance that it breaks SSL, because the SSL certificate contains a text field called "common name" that it compares with the hostname, and if they don't match, the baseline outcome is a certificate validation failure. There is also a field in SSL certificates called "subject alternative name" (SAN).? If hostname matches a SAN, then, that is considered a validation success.? But on the other hand, an IP address may or may not be treated the?same as a hostname.? Whether or not they are handled like hostnames is dependent on the SSL stack and the application.? SAN's also have a flag that differentiate between "this is a hostname" and "this is an IP address".? More often than not, SSL implementations demand a resolvable hostname, and don't accept a numeric IP address as a substitute hostname, even when the "this is an IP address" flag in the SSL certificate's SAN field is properly set and valid. If I suspect that the lack of a resolvable hostname is contributing to SSL failures, my only real troubleshooting steps are to temporarily disable SSL to see if I was right, or, set up a local DNS server that allows me to create a first-class fully-qualified DNS-resolvable hostname that doesn't depend on multicast DNS or any kind of local network magic that makes DNS work without a real DNS server, that depends on the operating system's quirks to work correctly.? Both of those are kind of a pain in the ass to be honest (especially if your options for setting up DNS include creating an unwanted dependency on having a working internet connection).? Nevertheless, that's what you could be dealing with.? You didn't want a local DNS server, but if my guess here is right, it would solve this.? Oh, another runner up that also works (despite also being messy) is to manually input hostnames in the operating system's "hosts" file |
Re: NAX and NVX over VLANs with Home
I was using two X300 amps just recently and used the second ethernet port on Amp 1 to feed Amp 2.? Flat network with IGMP turned on for the network switch that had the NAX Amp 1 network connection on it.? I have successfully used the loop out with two 8ZSA amps in the past, but the X300 devices were for sure behaving differently. |
Re: NAX and NVX over VLANs with Home
We are having all kinds of issues with this at a home right now.
However, ours is actually behaving a bit differently than yours. For some reason, we can't change the hostname to a static IP address.? The second we try this; the CH processor changes the status to awaiting authentication. The device says that it is online, but the processor doesn't allow for any config changes or routing. I have tried manually entering the CS authentication credentials through console, but nothing gets the device to show online in CH setup. Crestron is confused, and their solution is to suggest that we put everything on the same subnet. We have VLANs for a reason!!!! What is even stranger, when you select the "Web Configuration" text in CH setup, it tries to load the NAX AES67 IP address not the management one. Of course, once I select "Repair Connection" in CH setup, it forces the hostname again. Oh ... and don't bother trying to put the NAX/NVX back on your control network because it doesn't work. That's what I tried, with the Management on the clients network for Airplay. No worky!? That's when Crestron tries to manage the device using the AES67 network! Crestron ... please learn how to properly implement a VLAN strategy on a processor! Instead of just giving us a place to input a range of addresses, why not just make the processor VLAN aware? The processor should have an advanced networking tab that allows for entering the VLANs that should be allowed and the IP address of the processor on that VLAN. This is the exact implementation in devices like the Josh.AI Core and OvrC Hub. Or ... better yet Crestron, let us actually set things up in CH! Stop trying to dumb things down just to get everyone on planet earth to install CH. Just give classes on VLAN tagging and proper multicast implementation. It drives me absolutely nuts that their answer is a flat network with everything in DHCP. And let's not get started on trying to keep organized IP tables and Cresnet address ranges. If anyone has successfully implemented this with the latest OS4 firmware, please chime in! Brian |
NAX and NVX over VLANs with Home
Hello...
Following the recent(ish) upgrade to CH which allows a Home processor to deal with devices across VLANs, we have implemented VLANs on a larger site. The site was running multiple NVX devices on an already busy network. ?Previously we were seeing some packet loss and lag but the new VLAN arrangement has much improved these symptoms. ?General network performance is improved too (outside of the Crestron stuff). Aside from having to change the Processor to an IP address (instead of the default hostname) in each NVX/NAX device web GUI, this was a straightforward change and everything came online ok. However: ?we are now unable to connect to NVX AES67 streams from the NAX. ?On the web GUI of the NAX we just see 'Connecting' under the Stream Status table. Multicast addresses are all correct. ?System was set up natively in CH (authentication, chdevice etc.) but we have tried a few manual tweaks as well. Video is working fine, Airplay working fine. ?Multicast / IGMP appears to be right; there's no network flooding or crashing and the NVX is streaming video perfectly happily. Since the Multicast addresses are populating correctly, perhaps this hanging on 'Connecting' might be an authentication issue... however, the only user in the user table is the system-generated chdevice. ?(I did try adding the chdevice user to the 'connects' group as well, but no avail) This was working fine before we put the VLANs in. ? We are using dual ethernet ports on the NAX. ?1=Management, 2=AES67. ?Note the Management VLAN is our General Access network, for Airplay etc, *not* our Control System VLAN which is seperate again. ?So I suppose we could put the NVX/NAX back onto our control system subnet but we'd prefer not to. Has anyone else seen/overcome this? |

Re: Best HDMI Matrix Switcher for 4X4: Still AVPro Edge?
I had good luck with WyreStorm MX0404-HDMI. Supports IR, Serial and IP control. I requested drivers from support and they sent them over. Looks like they use Janus Technology to develop their drivers. It hit a good price point and easily available in the integration channel.?

Re: TSW1070 over Crestnet
We use this, it comes with 2wire to BNC adapters so you can use the YZ pair in the cresnet cable.
it is a LINOVISION POE over coax converter set. Also great for camera retrofit. ?On 4/19/24, 2:27 PM, "Gary Miller" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> on behalf of g@... <mailto:g@...>> wrote: I have a project with a bunch of old CT1000 panels that the client would like to upgrade to TSW1070s, I know these panels have Wi-Fi so getting network to them should be no problem, but is there a way to use the Crestnet power to power the panel?

Re: Crestron App touch screen options
I'm getting a handle on this.? Reusing old screens still involves a lot of adjustment via smart graphics and I don't think a ton of time will be saved going that route.? Might as well start from scratch.? I am going to need more then the 2 pages that come with the free version.? How does the upgrade work? is it per tablet, Apple ID or something else.? Everyone in the house has their own tablet and Apple ID. There will be 4 tablets involved.? ?I'm planning to upload to the processor and not local.? I did create a little 2 page test that works perfectly so I think I'll stick to loading to the processor.

Re: PRO3 IP/USB weird behaviour
I think I got it. Upgraded toolbox to the latest version and it's OK now. It was not that old and it was working from the day of the installation two years ago.
The firmware in the PRO3 is the same also. In fact NOTHING changed from day one, not any firmware, software, nothing.? Oh well... |

Re: TSW1070 over Crestnet
Hey Gary,
There are a number of vendors that make 2-conductor-to-Ethernet/Poe adapters that would solve your issue allowing you to use the Cresnet for POE wired network... I haven't needed this solution in a while so I can't recommend a particular item at the moment, but if you can't find something reach back out and i'll chase something down for you. Years ago, Crestron even had a 3rd party product that they tested and approved!! |
