Crestron SystemBuilder is the easiest method of programming a Crestron system.

NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the MLX-2, it is

recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring a system that contains the

MLX-2.

SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control

systems. It is organized into two separate, but equally important “Managers.”

Configuration Manager Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control

system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.

• To incorporate the MLX-2 into the system, first drag a CEN-RFGW-EX

gateway icon from the Wireless Receivers | Wireless Receivers (RF) folder

of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views panel.

(The gateway is listed twice; once as a Cresnet® device and again as an

Ethernet device. Either instance can be used.)

Then, drag the MLX-2 icon from the Wireless Remotes | Wireless Remotes

(RF) folder and drop it on the CEN-RFGW-EX icon.
