About the Crestron CEN-IO-COM-202
The two COM ports use 5-pin 3.5 mm detachable terminal blocks and support 2-way RS-232 control and monitoring at up to 115.2k baud, with hardware and software handshaking. Because it joins the network over Wi-Fi, no network cable is needed at the device, only power from the included pack.
The radio works on 2.4 or 5 GHz with static or DHCP addressing, supports 64 and 128-bit WEP, WPA and WPA2-PSK with TKIP and AES, and can memorise up to five wireless access points. Range is up to 50 ft (15 m), depending on site conditions. It requires an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless access point and an Ethernet-enabled Crestron control system, and supports TLS 1.2 and local authentication.
The included PW-0510WUL power pack takes 100 to 240 VAC and delivers 5 VDC at 1.2 A to a 2-pin terminal block; typical consumption is 0.8 W. Setup is through Crestron Toolbox, using the Micro-USB console port, or a web browser. The IFE micro enclosure measures 34 x 128 x 73 mm and mounts freestanding, stacked, on a surface or on 35 mm DIN rail with the included bracket.

How is the CEN-IO-COM-202 powered?
It comes with a PW-0510WUL power pack that accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and supplies 5 VDC at 1.2 A to a 2-pin terminal block on the extender. Typical power consumption is 0.8 W. The wired CEN-IO-COM-102 is the PoE powered alternative.
Which wireless security does it support?
The Wi-Fi radio supports 64 and 128-bit WEP, WPA and WPA2-PSK with TKIP and AES encryption, and it can use a static IP address or DHCP. The extender also supports the TLS 1.2 and local authentication security protocols.

It uses the Crestron IFE micro enclosure in black and blue plastic, measuring 34 mm high, 128 mm wide and 73 mm deep. It can stand freely, be stacked, or fix to a surface or 35 mm DIN rail with the included bracket, taking 8 DIN module spaces (144 mm). Rack and pole mount options are available.
How much is the Crestron CEN-IO-COM-202?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the CEN-IO-COM-202 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.
Can 1Install supply, install and programme the CEN-IO-COM-202?
Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the CEN-IO-COM-202 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.
Does the CEN-IO-COM-202 come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the CEN-IO-COM-202 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.
Is the CEN-IO-COM-202 in stock?
We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.
Can I buy the CEN-IO-COM-202 without installation?
Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
