Settings

One short reference page for each screen under Settings in Centro System Manager for Crestron, in the order of the app's menu. Each page says what the screen is for, what every field and action does and what to watch for.

These screens are for Administrators. A Manager who opens one that changes settings is told that only an Administrator can see it.

To open the settings menu, select Settings in the top navigation, then select the tab at the left edge of the page. Open a group and select a page. The menu closes when you select anywhere else on the page.

On a phone, the menu is a bar above the page reading Settings menu, with the name of the page you're on. Tap it to open every group and page over the page, and Close to close it.

To find a setting by name, type in Search settings at the top of any Settings screen.

System​

The locations, what calls in and the certificate shown to browsers.

  • Locations — locations, their groups, what each one shows and its User App QR codes.
  • Connections — everything that calls in, the location it serves and whether it's trusted.
  • Certificate — trust the processor's certificate, or use your organisation's own.

Access​

Who can sign in, the accounts used to sign in to other systems and the keys other systems sign in with.

  • Administrators — map the processor's groups to the Administrator and Manager roles.
  • Service accounts — the usernames and passwords used to sign in to other systems.
  • API keys — the keys another system, or an AI assistant through MCP, uses to call this processor.
  • Sign-in security — the pause after repeated failed sign-ins, and who is blocked now.

Notifications​

  • Email — the mail relay, who gets alerts and the digest.
  • Alert rules — when each alert is raised.

Settings​

Centro System Manager for Crestron itself.

  • General — what Managers can do, connections, the Administrator email, User App access, value propositions, the Stays switch, demo mode and processor services.
  • Stays — where stays come from and what happens by itself during a stay. In the menu only while the Stays switch is on.
  • Licence — what is licensed, and the keys.
  • Backup and restore — backups, restore points and factory reset.

Deployment​

Getting a site up and running.
