Crestron Linn DS Driver
The Crestron drivers do not look for Linn DS/DSM players by their names but for capabilities. That is, searches for UPnP services of the Linn DS/DSM products and adjusts accordingly.
This allows new firmware features and new product support WITHOUT the need for any Crestron driver updates.
Both drivers have the common capability:
- Series3 Processor support
- This works with other non-Crestron control points. That is, and changes by other control devices are shown in the Crestron panels
- Presets to quickly access favourite music libraries
- Smart Graphics GUI, in landscape orientation, with Linn Kazoo look and feel, but also re-skinable in an installer specific Look & Feel.
- Tested with a 10 DS and 4 controller setup (More Linn DS or Controller setup may require more Crestron Processors)
- Linn DS Crestron setup guide

Rooms are being listed that are turned off
- This is a known issue only with the Kustom DSM.
Detailed trace information for support
- If you are asked to provide a DEBUG TRACE….
- 1. Open Crestron Toolbox and connect to the Crestron processor using the Text Console
- 2. Type USERPROGCMD "debug -all -on"
- 3. Open the SIMPL Debugger and Connect to the Crestron processor
- 4. Reproduce the problem a few times
- 5. Choose SIMPL Debugger > Logging > Save Current….
- 6. Click OK
- If you are asked to provide an ERROR LOG….
- 1. Open Crestron Toolbox and connect to the Crestron processor using the Text Console
- 2. Type ERRLOG
- 3. Copy any errors from the log into your support ticket
- Note: It is preferable to clear any errors on the processor before uploading your program (to do this type CLEAR)
- If you are asked to provide a PROJECT ARCHIVE….
- 1. Open your project in SIMPL Windows
- 2. Choose File > Create Archive…
- If you are asked to provide an KAZOO SERVER GATEWAY LOG….
- If all of these are visible the next step is with the Kazoo Server Gateway V4.10.XX or later
- 1. Go into Kazoo Server settings and ENABLE "Verbose Logging"
- 2. Go into web-browser and type Kazoo Server IP address followed by :4000/dm/logs
