Guide to Setup of embedded CI-Gateway for Crestron/Control4

A Crestron (driver V1.0.2 onwards) or Control (driver V171 onwards) system, requires a Gateway to interpret between control system and Linn DS control. In earlier versions of drivers this was solely using Linn Kazoo Server with Gateway enabled.

But with update is Linn DS/DSM firmware - Davaar 99 or higher, and updated hardware, allows the Gateway interface to be embedded into these Linn products removing the requirement of Linn Kazoo Server. Product with updated hardware are listed >HERE<

To enable the embedded CI Gateway

1. Go into Manage System and select a Linn DS/DSM with the embedded Gateway
2. Go into Advanced
3. And turn ON the "CI Gateway" option
4. If the CI Gateway was previously turned off and you have turned it on then you will need to reboot/power cycle your Linn DS/DSM to provide this service.

Note

• On reboot the "CI Gateway" service is available approx 3minutes after a power cycle/reboot.
• If the CI Gateway is not shown then either the Linn DS/DSM does not have the hardware to support this option or it does not have Davaar97 or higher version.

Change streaming service account logins

On CI Gateway you will require to enter the Usernames and Password for the streaming services used.

To enter these Service Usernames etc you need to know the IP address of the Linn DS/DSM and go into port 4100

That is: for Kustom DSM on IP address 192.168.1.49 then go into https://192.168.1.49:4100 into a web browser.

This will open the page on the right. You can now go into each section and either enter the Username and password for each Linn DS/DSM or global username and password for each service.

No CI Gateway then getting Kazoo Server Gateway enabled

If you do not have any of the products listed in the Products providing Gateway API in the system then you will still require to a PC/MAC or QNAP running.

For Crestron Linn-Lite, Crestron Linn DSM 4-Series driver or Control4 V171 and above then this requires Kazoo Server V4.11.27

To enable the CI Gateway, go Kazoo Server setting and enable Gateway API
