3.  When all the IP IDs and associated IP addresses have been added to the IP 

Table, click Send IP Table to Control System. 

As with all 2-Series control systems, the CP2E has the capability to function as a 
peripheral device, or “slave”, in a master/slave arrangement with another control 
system. Here the IP Table of the CP2E must contain just one entry, for the master 
control system.  

To access the IP Table of a “slave” CP2E, use the Setup IP Table command on the 
Viewport Functions menu, as just described. The settings are as follows:  

•  Enter the IP ID of the CP2E itself, as specified in the program of the master 

control system and select OK. Notice that the “slave” CP2E is listed with 
TRUE in the Master? column.  

•  2) Enter the IP address of the master control system.  
•  3.) Click the Set as Master check box. 

When operating as a slave device, the CP2E can accept commands only from one 
control system. Therefore, there must only be one entry in the IP Table. 

For further information about e-Control applications, including basic concepts and 
terminology, see Crestron’s e-Control Reference Guide, DOC. 6052, available in 
PDF format on the Crestron website. 

The CP2 and CP2E provide three serial COM ports (A through C) that enable RS-
232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication. 

Each port has a built-in serial driver with communication settings that must be 
specified in Configuration Manager: double-click a COM port to open the “Device 
Settings” dialog box, and then click the “Serial Settings” tab. These settings define 
the protocol that a controlled serial device expects, and include the baud rate, parity, 
and the number of data bits and stop bits. In addition, a device might require 
hardware or software handshaking, which controls the flow of data between two 
devices. The exact protocol will be described in the manufacturer's documentation. 

The Crestron database includes numerous serial devices, with default logic and pre-
configured communication settings, that are compatible with the ports on the COM 
card. Simply drag the serial device from the Crestron Database folder to one of the 
ports on the COM card and click Yes when prompted to replace the built-in serial 
driver for that port. In most cases, the default logic should be loaded as well. 

In Program Manager, the C2I-COM3 symbol contains no signals; to program a serial 
driver expand the C2I-COM3 card by clicking the plus sign in Program View. Then 
drag the desired serial driver to Detail View. (Alternatively, you can double-click the 
symbol.) 

A useful feature of SIMPL Windows is that you can convert a program created for 
another type of control system, simply by changing the target to a CP2 or CP2E.  

To do this you first open the program, and then replace the existing control system 
with the CP2 or CP2E. That is, drag the CP2 or CP2E from the Control Systems 
folder onto the existing control system in System Views, and click Yes when 
prompted to confirm the replacement.
