the SIMPL Windows procedure. The Net ID of the Thermostats has been factory set
to 2A. The Net IDs of multiple thermostats in the same system must be unique. Net
IDs are changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE: The Crestron Viewport is available as a pull-down command from SIMPL
Windows and VisionTools
Viewport utility performs multiple system tasks, primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP
connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to observe system
processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change system and network
parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among
many other tasks. Viewport can function as a terminal emulator for generic file
transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in
Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool, the
Crestron Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading
programs and projects.
NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to "Communication Settings" in the Operations Guide of the
control system. If communication cannot be established, refer to the
"Troubleshooting Communications" section in the respective Operations Guide for
the control system.
NOTE: The NET ID can also be changed using the setup screens.
NOTE: Firmware version 2.40 and later supports Touch Settable ID.
There are two different methods—Method A or Method B—for setting the Net ID:
Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID), described as follows, applies to devices in
a Cresnet system with a 2-Series control system and requires that a single unit be the
only network device connected to the control system.
Method B (Touch Settable ID or TSID), which begins on page 10, applies to all
TSID-ready devices in a Cresnet system with 2-Series control system upgrade file
(CUZ) version 3.029 or later. TSID functionality makes it possible for the control
system to recognize a network device via its serial number, which is stored in the
device's memory. This method does not require that any devices be disconnected
from the network; Net IDs may be set with the entire Cresnet system intact. This
method requires the use of the Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.
Use the appropriate method to set the Net ID.
Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID)
1. Ensure that the device requiring a Net ID change is the only unit connected
to the control system.
2. Open the Crestron Viewport.
3. From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Set Network ID. The software
checks the baud rate and then opens the "Set Network ID" window.
4. In the "Set Network ID" window, select the device requiring a Net ID
change from the Current Network Devices text window.
5. Select the new Net ID for the device from the Choose the new network ID
for the selected device (Hex): text box.
