TCP/IP connection
Primer – DOC. 6253
For a TCP/IP connection, use Ethernet straight-through cables to connect the PC and
control system to the Ethernet network.
Set IP Information
If you intend to communicate with the control processor via Ethernet you have to
configure the processor's IP information.
1. Set up an RS-232 connection to the control system, as described earlier.
2. Click Viewport on the Tools menu to start the Crestron Viewport.
3. Click Set IP Information on the Viewport Communications menu. The
Ethernet settings you specify here include the control system's IP address or
host name, IP mask and default router address. The exact IP information
will differ depending on the application—for example, if you enable DHCP
or SSL. In most cases you will obtain the IP values from a system
administrator.
4. Enter the IP information and click OK to reboot the control system. Exit the
Crestron Viewport.
Now that you have configured the control system's IP settings, you can connect to
the control system via Ethernet. Click Communications on the SIMPL Windows
Edit menu and select TCP/IP as the connection type. Enter the IP address or host
name of the control system. Alternatively, you can click Prompt on Connect to be
prompted for the IP information at program upload.
