ships it off to a network. The IP address is a unique number consisting of four parts
separated by dots, e.g., 165.113.245.2.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic
IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the IP
address of the device can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports
a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. New
computers can be added to a network without manually assigning each one a unique
IP address.
Edit, remove, or enter a control system's IP address in the IP table to enable
communication between the UPX-2 and a control system. The UPX-2 can
communicate with multiple control systems.
Refer to the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide
(Doc. 6256) for more information on IP tables.

The IP ID is the ID number that is used to identify the UPX-2 in a control system's
IP table. The IP ID should match the IP ID set in the control system's SIMPL
Windows program. The IP Address field lists the IP address of the control system
that will address the corresponding IP ID.
Press Identity to open the "Network ID" window. The "Network ID" window
displays the hostname and workgroup that identify the UPX-2 on the network. The
hostname may be used when transferring a program over Ethernet using Crestron
Toolbox. This window permits editing of the hostname and workgroup.
