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

A Crestron or Control4 system, with Linn DS drivers, 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.

Products providing Gateway API



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
