Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 

2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards 

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of connecting multiple computers 
on an internal network to the Internet (or any other IP network) using one publicly 
visible IP address. Current implementation for the Crestron 2-Series control systems 
includes a combination of the Network Address Port Translator protocol (NAPT) and 
Bi-Directional NAT. NAT functionality is included in the firmware of Crestron  
2-Series control processors, and enabled through a dual port Ethernet Z-bus 
expansion card (C2ENET-2 only).  

For specific details on NAT, including setup and configuration, refer to the latest 
version of Doc. 6001, Crestron Network Address Translator (NAT) Reference 
Guide. It is available from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Miscellaneous section 
of the

 

Crestron website (

).

service.
