Installing and configuring the driver
This page takes you from adding the driver to a working, licensed connection to the 2N, ready to control and monitor.
Prerequisites
Have these ready on the 2N before you start — the driver's troubleshooter checks each of them, but it is quicker to set them up first:
- Network — the processor and the 2N on the same subnet / VLAN, and the 2N's IP address to hand.
- HTTP API enabled — on the 2N web interface, Services → HTTP API.
- An API account — a username and password under Services → HTTP API → Account, enabled and granted the System, Switch and Event log (Logging) services. These are the services the driver uses.
- Enhanced Integration / Automation licence on the 2N — some control calls (switch control) require the 2N's own Enhanced Integration licence to be active. Feedback works without it; control may be refused.
- At least one switch enabled — under Hardware → Switches, with the strike or relay wired to it.
- For call control — a registered SIP account under Services → Phone (SIP). Skip this if you only need switches and inputs.
This driver talks to the 2N over its HTTP API. It complements 2N's own Crestron SIP calling integration rather than replacing it.
1. Add the driver
In the Crestron Home configurator, add a device and search for 2N Doorstation V2 (Manufacturer 2N, under the Lock device type): Drivers → Lock → 2N → 2N Doorstation V2. Adding it opens the setup wizard, which has two steps: Licence → Device Info.
2. Enter the licence key
On the Licence step:
- Paste the licence key into LicenceKey.
- Get a Licence and Licence Store link to the LCD web store if you need a key or a trial.
- Diagnostics & Setup opens the browser commissioning app directly (Diagnostics / Troubleshooter) — see Diagnostics & Setup app. It is available whether or not the driver is licensed.
- Product & Licence App opens the LCD Product MicroApp for this processor.
The licence gates the wizard: without a valid key the step will not advance, and an unlicensed driver shows its tile but does nothing when a control is pressed. If the key is rejected, check it is correct and that the processor can reach the internet — the driver contacts the licence server to verify it.
The driver uses the same product SKU (CHTWONHW) as the previous Basic Http driver, so a site that was
already licensed re-uses its existing activation rather than consuming a new one.
3. Enter the device details
On the Device Info step, enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| IPAddress | The 2N's IP address. |
| Username | The 2N HTTP API account username. |
| Password | That account's password (masked). |
The driver connects over the 2N's HTTP API — there is no port to configure. It comes back from a reboot connected and licensed on its own, so you do not have to re-run the wizard after a power cut.
4. Confirm the connection
Within a few seconds of saving, the driver connects and the tile's status line shows Connected. If it shows Offline or Connecting…, open the Diagnostics & Setup app and run the troubleshooter — it checks reachability, the HTTP API, the credentials, the account's service privileges, the switches, the inputs and SIP, and tells you exactly what to fix. See Setup & Diagnostics app.
