CENI-GW1

The CENI-GW1 is a universal wireless gateway that communicates with Crestron® SG (Sub GHz), ER (Extended Range), and infiNET EX® wireless devices. A single CENI-GW1 creates SG, ER, and infiNET EX® wireless networks to facilitate 2-way communication between a Crestron® control system and a network of Crestron wireless remotes, keypads, lighting dimmers, motorized shades, thermostats, door locks, and other wireless devices.

Note: Compatible with 3-Series® control systems or newer.

Universal Wireless Gateway

The universal wireless gateway features 2‑way wireless communication between the gateway and wireless devices. The CENI-GW1 can manage SG wireless, infiNET EX® wireless, and ER (Extended Range RF) devices simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate gateways.1

Easy Setup

The CENI-GW1 makes it easy to set up a network of wireless devices by eliminating the need for separate gateways, antennas, and LAN connections. Additionally, Crestron wireless devices are discovered and acquired in one simple step.

Power over Ethernet for Simple Installation

Using PoE technology, a single cable run is used for both power and data for the CENI-GW1.

Power an entire network of Crestron PoE devices using a Crestron PoE switch (CEN‑SW‑POE‑5 or CEN‑SWPOE‑16) or a single device using a PoE Injector (PWE‑4803RU). All PoE injectors and switches are sold separately.

As an alternative to PoE, use a 24VDC power pack (PW‑2407WU, sold separately) to power the CENI-GW1.

Integrator Friendly Enclosure

Mount the CENI-GW1 almost anywhere using the Integrator Friendly Enclosure (IFE). The IFE can be mounted to any flat surface, snapped onto a standard DIN rail, or stacked on other IFE compliant devices. Rack mount and pole mount kits are also available.

Key Features

• Universal wireless gateway adds the SG (Sub GHz) wireless network to the proven performance of the infiNET EX mesh network and Extended Range ER wireless network

• Supports Crestron battery-powered shades

• Dynamic discovery for fast, easy setup

• Wi-Fi® friendly channel selection for trouble-free operation

• Built-in energy scan tool to help select wireless channel

• Extend infiNET EX wireless coverage with infiNET EX expanders2

• Extend ER wireless coverage with the built-in ER device roaming capabilities

• Mount the antennas remotely using the ANT-EXT-10 (one required for each antenna, sold separately)

• Power using PoE or 24VDC power pack

• Integrator Friendly Enclosure (IFE) can be mounted to a flat surface, a DIN rail, or stacked on other IFE compliant devices; rack and pole mount options are also available (sold separately)

1. The CENI-GW1 is not compatible with MTX-3, TPS-6X, or UFO-WPR-3ER model remotes.

2. Battery-powered infiNET EX devices do not provide expander functionality and may have reduced RF range capabilities. Consult the specifications for each network device to confirm its actual wireless capabilities. Use infiNET EX expanders (CLW-EXPEX, sold separately) to fill gaps in coverage and extend the wireless range of the infiNET EX network. infiNET EX expanders are only for infiNET EX networks and offer no benefit to the performance of ER and SG devices. A maximum of five infiNET EX expanders may be deployed on an infiNET EX network.

3. Up to six MLX-3 remotes can be used.
