Crestron DM-MD64X64 Quick Start Manual

DM-MD64X64/DM-MD128X128
1 1 Introduction
Crestron ® DigitalMedia™ endpoints consist of DM-TX transmitters
and DM-RMC receivers. At the time of publication of this document,
configuration of the endpoints with the DM-MD64X64/
DM-MD128X128 switcher must be performed from a PC using
Crestron Toolbox™. A USB Ethernet adapter is provided with the
switcher to connect the switcher to a PC and allow configuration of IP
settings without affecting other LAN or wireless adapters on the PC.
The adapter connects to the SERVICE Ethernet port on the CPU
blade of the switcher, allowing access to the endpoints.
NOTE: A future firmware release for the DM-MD64X64/
DM-MD128X128 will allow DigitalMedia endpoints to be configured
from the front panel of the switcher or from a Web browser.
Installing the USB Ethernet Adapter

Locate the USB Ethernet adapter provided with the switcher, and then
install the adapter according to the instructions that follow.
1. With the PC turned on, insert the USB connector of the adapter into
an available USB 2.0 port on the PC.
Installation of the hardware
LAPTOP
device driver for the adapter
varies depending on the
operating system of the PC.
For installation instructions,
refer to the Linksys USB

Ethernet Adapter Quick
Installation Guide that is
packaged with the adapter.
2. Insert one end of an
Ethernet cable into

1 3 Configuring DigitalMedia Endpoints
Using Crestron Toolbox, configure DigitalMedia endpoints as follows:
1. Using the Device Discovery Tool, sort the device list by hostname to easily locate the
endpoint to be configured; then select the endpoint (DM-TX-201-S is selected in the
example below).
NOTE: DM-TX/DM-RMC endpoints and DMB blades are listed in the device list of the
Device Discovery Tool; however, only endpoints can be configured using Crestron
Toolbox.
