User manual for the 2N Simpl Windows Module.

  • Allows you to control your 2N Doorstation directly from Simpl Windows
  • Relay and IO both exposed in Simpl Windows

This hardware interface is intended to simplify the connection of your Crestron Custom system to the popular 2N range of doorstation hardware.
The Switch controls and IO input can be used in tandem with the SIP call functionality to allow a complete solution. In addition we offer a range of Door and Lock UI Tiles which can be used to give a user interface to the hardware.

Module

The software is delivered as a Simpl+ Module which can be used within a Simpl Windows Custom Program.

Parameters including

Licence Key and Network Configuration are all required.

The Switch INputs are controlled by Pulsing the

Inputs.

State Outputs are Latching Outputs including :

DeviceOnlineFb

SwitchState1 and SwitchState2

Input, Output and Relay States.

NB: Only the first Relay,INput and Output Supported.

All other digital outputs are pulses representing events.

The Response from the licensing call is reported to a serial string.

NB: The processor must be connected to the internet for initial activation.

2N Device Setup and Connection

To make use of the Switch and I/O API you will need to apply a 2N Enhanced Integration Licence.

We suggest when first connection you set authentication to None.

The Driver requires a TCP Connection Type and can support Digest , Basic or no Authentication.

If Authentication is used a user must be created and given control and monitoring on I/O Access and control privileges on Switch Access .

You need to create a user and give that user the privileges:

NB: the user is not the same as the user that you use to get into the web Interface.You have to add and enable one of the accounts on the HTTP API Page.

The function applied to Switch 1 or Switch 2 are configured in the 2N web interface.

NB: Relays and Outputs are not controlled directly by the module.

The Module controls the Swithes which in turn control the relay or Output.

Sample Program and Xpanel

A Sample Program and Xpanel are included in the download.

NB: You will need to update the licence key in the program to a valid licence key to use the sample program, there is currently no grace period on use.

The AIR Xpanel need to be setup with connection details of the processor and IP-ID-03.

This Xpanel is provided to Allow Initial familiarization with the Module.
