Page 30: Glossary Of Terms
CNX Enhanced Ethernet Expansion Card Glossary of Terms CNX CONTROL SYSTEM A CNX control system is any Crestron control processor in the CNX product line. Currently, these include the integrated control systems CNMSX-AV and the CNMSX-PRO and modular control systems CNRACKX and the CNRACKX-DP. - Page 31 Crestron CNXENET+ IP MASK An IP mask is a pattern of bits in IP address format (e.g. 255.255.255.0) which, when "and"ed with your IP address, produces a network address. If an outgoing packet's network address has the same network address as the source of the packet, it is sent on the local network wire, to be received by a device on that local network.
