Devices in Fusion Zone


Fusion-trackable devices placed into a Fusion zone are capable of reporting to the Fusion Server without the need of providing user-created programming. Simply add the device into a Fusion enabled location and the Fusion Zone logic device will provide programming which will setup the device for Fusion monitoring.

 

 

Adding a device to a Fusion zone:

  1. Locate the device in the Product Browser

  2. Drag and drop it to the desired Fusion-enabled location in the System Tree

    -or-

    Select the location and double click on the device.

    -or-

    Point to the Plus Sign icon to the left of the device's Model Name so it turns green and click on it.

 

What are hidden Fusion Static Assets?

A hidden Fusion Static Asset is automatically added to the slot of the Fusion Room logic device in Crestron Studio® for the following devices:

Automatically-added Fusion assets are not displayed in the System Tree but the Fusion Room logic device and its static assets can be observed in the Device Explorer in Program Designer.



NOTE: User-added fusion assets are visible in the System Tree:


 

Is a Fusion Asset added for sources in the system?

Fusion assets are not added for sources (unless the source is a Crestron device supporting the 'Ethernet Offline Manager'/'Cresnet Poll Manager' device extenders, for example CEN-NSP-1). Crestron Fusion® receives information about the sources in the system through the source routes.

 

What is the 'Include in Fusion' property?

Each Fusion-capable device has a 'Include in Fusion' property. When the property is enabled (default setting for Presentation systems), the device will be automatically integrated into the Fusion zone during program generation. When this property is disabled (unchecked) - Crestron Fusion® will not monitor the device.



Setting/Clearing the 'Under Fusion Control' property in the Properties Grid for the device will have the same effect to the Fusion assets as adding/removing the device from a Fusion room.

NOTE: This property has no effect if the device is placed in a non-Fusion zone, unless the device is routed to a Fusion zone through source routes.
