USER MANUAL ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE-I Crestron
AV Bridge – Wireless Control Integration Module
Installation Guide

Description
The Crestron® ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE and ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE-I (AV Bridge) are
wireless control integration modules that relay RS-232 commands from a wireless
keypad to an AV controller
The AV Bridge functions:
- In a Zūm™ wireless lighting system to relay commands from a Zūm Wireless AV
Keypad to the AV control system
- In an AirMedia® Presentation System to relay commands from an AirMedia
Wire NOTES
NOTES:
- Only one AV Bridge can be installed in any system.
- When using the AV Bridge with an AM-200 or AM-300:
• To install, refer to the "Installation" section that follows
• To configure, refer to the AM-200/AM-300 Product Manual (Doc. 8254) at
- To configure, refer to the AM when creetron.com/manuals

Installation
To install the AV Bridge, do the following:
- Mount the AV Bridge to any flat surface using three screws (not included) that
are appropriate for the mounting surface.
NOTE: For best results, position the device to avoid interference from nearby
RF sources, obstructions, and metal surfaces.

②
- Make connections to the AV Bridge
NOTE: Use either the COM or COMPUTER port (not both) when connecting to
the control system or computer. If both connections are made, the AV Bridge
will use the COMPUTER port to send commands.
• COMPUTER - provides power and communications with the controller
• COM - provides communications with the controller
BWP provides a report to the AV Bidway, providing the COM network.
- PWR - provides power to the Av Bridge when using the COM port or when power is not supplied using the COMPUTER port.
Connect using the COMPUTER Port Connect using the COM and PWR Port




COM port specifications:
G: Ground
• TX: Transmit
- RX:Receive
- Default serial protocol speed: 115.2k baud (8 data bits, 1 stop bits, no flow
control, no parity).
How to Set Up a Zūm Space and Add Zūm Devices
Once all devices are physically installed in a boardroom or conference space, a new Zür
where all devices are physically installed in a board room for conference space, a new Eas space can be created and devices added.
NOTES:
- Only set up one Züm space at a time.
- For simplified setup of a Züm space, use the Züm app on a mobile device.
Step 1 Create a New Zūm Space
Creating a Z0m space defines the area where the devices are located, such as a
boardroom or conference room. A Zūm space is created with a keypad, dimmer or
switch, a J-box device, or an AV Bridge.
NOTES:
- Creating a Zūm space can only be performed by one device in the space.
• A Züm space cannot be created from a battery-powered keypad.
To create a new Züm space using an AC powered keypad, dimmer, or switch:
-
Press the bottom button 5 times
-
Press and hold the bottom button until the LED on the device lights. After
2.1 Less and hold the bottom bottom after the LED on the device lights. After approximately 3 seconds, the device LED begins slowly flashing. This indicate
that the Züm space is now created and in Joining mode, allowing you to add

To create a new Zūm space using a J-box device or an AV Bridge:
-
Press the SETUP button 5 times.
-
Press and hold the SETUP button until the LED on the device lights. After
approximately 3 seconds, the device LED begins slowly flashing. This indicate
that the Zūm space is now created and in Joining made, allowing you to add



NOTE: The device that is used to create the Zum space is automatically added to
the space and does not need to be added in Step 2.
Step 2 Add the AV Bridge to the Zūm Space
After a new Züm space is created, add the AV Bridge while the space is in Joining mode
NOTES:
NOTES.
- A Züm mesh device can belong to only one space.
- Joining mode ends automatically after 4 minutes.
To add the AV Bridge
-
Press the SETUP button 3 timer
-
Press and held the SETUP button until the LED on the AV Bridge lights. The LED
-
Press and hold the SETUP Bottom until the LED on the AV Bridge lights. The LED on the AV Bridge will start to flash slowly to indicate that it has joined the space

Step 3 Complete Zūm Space Setup
To finish creating a Zūm space, press any button on a device that is part of the Zūm
space to exit Joining mode.
AV Bridge Command List
AND WE ARE TO understand
AV Bridge Serial Protocol and Syntax
Data packets are carriage-return delimited (0xd) ASCII text (lines).
- All commands and responses are case insensitive.
• Line feeds (OxOa) are ignored.
- White space is not permitted in command, except for pass-through commands. The AV Bridge responds to command with the AVR prompt
- The AV Bridge responds to commands with the AVB> prompt. - Error messages are sent before the prompt
- Characters sent before the AV Bridge returns the AVB> prompt are discarded.
Special Characters sent to the AV Bridge
• !Command: sets a value or triggers an action (e.g., lights off, recall scene, etc.)
- ? Request: used to query a value or state of a Züm device (e.g., the dimmer level)
- \$ Pass-through command: used to invoke debug commands
cial Characters sent from the AV Bridge:
- Response: sent in response to a command (!) or request (?)
- ^ Feedback: sent when a condition in the room changes (e.g., scene change,
occupancy change, button press, etc.). The Filter command may prevent certain
feedback from being displayed.
- \ line continuation: sent at end of a line when multiple responses are issued
AV Bridge IDs
The AV bridge addresses specific room devices using an AVID (AV Bridge ID). The AVID is comprised of a K (keypad) or L (load controller) and a two digit number that is assigned to the device, such as L01, L02, K01, K02, K03, etc.
NOTES:
- The leading O is not needed when referencing an AVID for example, L1 or L01
- The leading O is not needed when referencing an AVID, for example, LT
- In the commands that follow, "[id]" would be substituted with an AVID.
Error Responses
The following error messages can be received from the AV system or the AV Bridge.
| ERROR TYPE ERROR RESPONSE ERROR | PRIORITY | COMMENTS | |
| Command error -error 1 Command not recognized; blank lines | not treated as an error | ||
| Parameter error | -command.err.param | 2 | Missing or too many parameters passed or an invalid AVID referenced (e.g., invalid category or two-digit number) |
| Non-existent device referenced | -command.err.no-exist | 3 "command"; any command referencing a device by AVID | |
| Parameter range error | -command.ext range | 4 Error with parameter value other than AVID | |
Command Line Pass-Thru Command
Commands that start "\$" are passed to the AV bridge's command line processor for
low-level debugging
Administrator Commands
Debug Command
The Debug command sets the debug control state. The debug state can also be
queried. When the debug state changes, the feedback response is issued by the AV
Bridge.

| Note: | This will reset the AV bridge. The AV bridge will respond with the ~reset confirmation before resetting. |
Reset the AV Bridge:
AVB> !reset
AVB>
SetAVID Command
The SetAVID pass-through command assigns an AVID to a device. This can be used to
change an AVID when a device is replaced, or it can be used to implement preplanned
AVID assignments based on the device's serial number. The -a parameter allows an
AVID to be changed to another AVID. The -s pa
to a device based on the device's serial number.

AVB> SSetAVID -a [L04] [123456789]
AVB>
DeleteDev Command
The DeleteDev pass-through command deletes a device from the AV Bridge. This can
be used to free up an AVID for use by another device, or it can be used to remove a
device from the system. The -a parameter allows an AVID to be removed using an
AVID. The -s parameter allows an AVID to be removed from a device based on serial
