A combination of Crestron devices in a remote location may be hard-wired to a CEN-CN to create a "CEN-CN Cresnet system". [. . . ] Reference Guidelines First Octet of Zero and 127 are reserved.

Observe a confirmation message that the 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, contact Crestron customer service for assistance. IP Table Setup The CEN-CN may have the IP Table set through Crestron Viewport via direct connection to the PC port or connected via TCP/IP once the IP Address of the CEN-CN has been set. Just as each Cresnet device is assigned a Cresnet NET ID, e. g. 03 through FE, to be used when programming, a CEN-CN is assigned an IP ID which also may range from 03 through FE. NOTE: Make sure that in the "Add IP Entry Table Dialog Box", the "Set as Master" checkbox is selected as shown below to specify the IP address of the system to be designated as the host control system. Add IP Entry Dialog Box NOTE: The CEN-CN has a limit of one entry that may be entered into the IP table. Although the entry may be placed anywhere in the table (position 03 to FE), attempting to place more than one (1) non-zero entries in the table will result in an error message. Changing the IP Table via Crestron Viewport You can modify the corresponding IP address for any IP ID by changing the IP table directly. From the Crestron Viewport, first establish communications with the CENCN, then select Functions | Setup IP Table then click the Retrieve Current IP Table from Control System button. This will extract the IP table from the CEN-CN 16 · Ethernet/Cresnet Interface: CEN-CN Operations Guide - DOC. 5721 Crestron CEN-CN Ethernet/Cresnet Interface and list it in the dialog box. Modify or delete existing entries or add new ones. When all the necessary changes have been made, save the new table to disk and/or load it back into the unit. Do not overwrite the IP table in the CEN-CN the next time the program is uploaded, unless the addresses in the program supercede those in the current IP table. NOTE: For more detailed information, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file by selecting Help | Help Topics. Select the Index tab, type in IP table, then select Changing IP Addresses without Changing the Program. Crestron e-controlTM IP Table Information It is extremely important that the IP ID in the SIMPL Windows program match the IP ID (sometimes called the Cres ID) in the IP Table of the CEN-CN. Hookup Diagram for Normal Operation When operating the CEN-CN under normal conditions, refer to figure on the next page for a typical connection diagram. Other than making the power connection last, complete the connections in any order. CAUTION: When the ETHERNET port is connected to a larger network via a hub, make sure that a straight (non-crossover type) Ethernet cable is used and that the cable is NOT connected to the UPLINK port of an Ethernet hub. CAUTION: If making connections to the RJ11 NET modular port, use the Crestron 6-conductor modular cable provided, DO NOT use 6-conductor telephone cables. [. . . ] IP Table An IP table lists IP IDs and their corresponding IP addresses. This table is maintained inside each CNX control system, though it may be generated by a SIMPL Windows program, or edited manually using the Viewport utility. MAC Address MAC address is a unique hardware address assigned to every network device in use. The MAC address is assigned by Crestron at the factory and is never changed. [. . . ]
