Configuring the C2N-DVP4DI
12 • Digital Video Processor: C2N-DVP4DI
TCP/IP Connection
Before you can communicate with the C2N-DVP4DI over TCP/IP, you must use the
RS-232 connection just described to configure the unit's TCP/IP settings.
1. Open Viewport and click Functions | Set Control System IP Information.
2. Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router in the text fields. (All of
these terms are explained in detail in the latest version of the Crestron
e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), available as a PDF on the
Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com).
3. Click OK to set the new IP information.
Once you have assigned the IP settings, you can continue to communicate with the
C2N-DVP4DI using the RS-232 connection, or you can establish a TCP/IP
connection.
For TCP/IP, use CAT5 cables with 8-pin RJ45 connectors to connect the LAN port
on the C2N-DVP4DI and the LAN port on the PC to the Ethernet hub. Alternatively,
you can use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports directly, without
using a hub.
The following figure illustrates pinouts for straight through and crossover RJ-45
cables. Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used.
RJ-45 Pinouts
Once the cable connections are made, open the Crestron Viewport and click Setup |
Communication Settings on the menu to display the "Port Settings" window. Then
click TCP/IP as the connection type. Enter the IP address of the C2N-DVP4DI and
click OK.
To verify communication, click Diagnostics | Establish Communications (Find
Rack). This should display a window that gives the IP address and port number.
If communication has not been established, check for proper cabling and connection.
Ensure that the Ethernet is enabled on the C2N-DVP4DI by checking the
"Diagnostics Menu" (refer to page 18).
To configure the C2N-DVP4DI, a series of setup screens must be accessed before
viewing run-time video windows on a display device (projector, plasma display,
etc.). These screens are accessed from the setup option on the MAIN MENU.
