            Default Router

0.0.0.0

(X, Y and Z range from 0 to 255)

Other Crestron IP control/CEN devices on this LAN would conform to similar 
parameters.

            Class A: 10.X.Y.Z
            Class B: 172.16.X.Y to 172.31.X.Y
            Class C: 192.168.0.X to 192.168.255.X

 

4. Click 

OK to enter the values and the reboot dialog box as shown below 

opens. 

 

5. Click 

Yes to reboot the control system and continue. 

6.  You will receive a confirmation message that the control system IP 

information has been setup. After the system reboots, select Function | 
Cold Boot, to view the IP Information.  

NOTE:  If an error that the Viewport could not setup the IP information opens, first 
verify that the CNXENET+ card is installed and seated properly. Second, verify that 
the control system has been updated to the minimum operating system (refer to 
“Leading Specifications” on page 2) required for Ethernet functionality. If the 
control system still cannot set the IP information, contact Crestron customer service. 

NOTE:  To add Ethernet capability to a SIMPL Windows program using a CNMSX-
AV/PRO or CNRACKX/-DP, select a CNXENET+ card from the "Plug-In DPA 
Modules" category and drop it onto the DPA card slot. 

Ethernet devices that are addressed by the control system may have their IP IDs set 
either in the SIMPL Windows program or through the Viewport using a PC. Just as 
each Cresnet device is assigned a Cresnet identification (NET ID), e.g. 03 through 
FE, to be used when programming, an Ethernet device is assigned an IP ID which 
also may range from 03 through FE. Ultimately, each IP ID is converted into an 
actual IP address through an IP table that exists inside the control system.
