CRESTRON HUB DRIVER INSTALLATION SECTION: 1. Find Rollease Acmeda ARC2 module in the Crestron Application Marketplace. 2. Unzip folder and open the Rollease Acmeda ARC2 v1.0 Demo IP CP3.smw file in SIMPL Windows.
STEP 1:
3. Locate the Rollease Acmeda ARC2 v1.0 Command Processor IP symbol in the SIMPL Windows program and replace the current IP address on the Pulse_Hub_IP_Address parameter with the actual IP address of your hub.
4. Comment out the entire “Motors” subfolder in the example program. 5. Compile and load the example program to your Crestron processor. 6. Open the Rollease Acmeda ARC2 v1.0 Demo XPanel.c3p file to open the XPanel simulator on your computer
(you may need to install Adobe Air first with the included CrestronXPanel installer files). 7. Once the XPanel opens, click Options Host Settings in the top menu and enter the IP address of your Crestron
processor in the Hostname/IP Address field and hit connect. This will connect your XPanel to your processor and allow for using the XPanel as a simulator in place of a physical touchpanel. 8. The module will automatically attempt to communicate with the hub when the program loads. Once communication is established with the hub, the Communicating indicator on the top right of the XPanel will illuminate. If it does, proceed to the next steps. If it does not, verify the IP address you entered in SIMPL Windows is correct and that the hub and Crestron processor are on the same network. 9. On the Command Processor tab in the XPanel, click the “Setup” button so it illuminates blue. 10. Using a remote or the Rollease Acmeda app, move each shade to initiate a response (in order to identify each). 11. The address of the last motor that moved/responded will automatically populate in the Motor Address field on the XPanel. Move each motor to identify each address.
