Advanced Console Commands

The SIMPL Windows online help file provides a full listing of console commands
that are valid for 2-Series control systems. You can access the C2N-DVP4DI
console in a variety of ways: via a serial connection (RS-232) with a PC, over
Ethernet via the LAN port, or through Telnet. It is also possible to issue console
commands through logic, by adding a Console symbol to the SIMPL Windows
program.
The Console symbol is visible in the Symbol Library only when "Special" is selected
as the Symbol Set. Click: Edit | Preferences. In the Symbol Set area of the General
tab, select Special as shown in the following graphic.

Ethernet Setup (Master/Slave Mode)

This section explains how to configure a C2N-DVP4DI to communicate over
Ethernet using TCP/IP. These procedures assume that the C2N-DVP4DI has been
powered up and connected properly. The screen prompt for Ethernet slave is
ESLAVE_DVP4DI, the screen prompt for Cresnet slave is CSLAVE_DVP4DI. Use
Cresnet ID 02 for a master or Ethernet slave, and Cresnet ID 03 through FE for a
Cresnet slave.
CAUTION: Do not connect a Cresnet network to the C2N-DVP4DI when in
Ethernet slave mode.

Initial IP Setup

NOTE: This initial IP setup MUST be done via the RS-232 computer port. Before
performing the procedures in this section, refer to the "Cable Connection for
Programming" in the C2N-DVP4DI Operations Guide (Doc. 6112) for cabling
instructions. Thereafter, communications may be established by using the Crestron
Viewport to directly connect to the IP address assigned to the C2N-DVP4DI. It is
assumed that the user has communications with the C2N-DVP4DI and the
appropriate update file has been loaded.

Console commands are
provided for advanced
programmers. However, most
functions and commands can
be selected from the various
Viewport menus.
