[. . . ] The System Views upper pane displays the Ethernet Units icon below the PRO2 graphic. To view the list of supported devices, expand the control system in the bottom pane of System Views and double-click Slot 8: C2ENET-2. Supported devices include Ethernet control modules, PC and Web browser interfaces, and a variety of Crestron Ethernet touchpanels. To add a device to the system, expand the slot and doubleclick the desired IP ID, or right-click and select Add Item from the submenu. In Program Manager, the C2ENET-2 symbol contains no signals; to program a controlled Ethernet device, expand the C2ENET-2 symbol in Program View. (Alternatively, you can double-click the symbol. ) About the IP Table For the PRO2 (or any Ethernet-enabled control system) to control devices via Ethernet, the IP ID (all Cresnet devices are assigned IP IDs) of the device must be associated with an IP address, and both the IP ID and IP address must be entered into the IP table of the control system. The first method is to double-click the device in Configuration Manager to open the "Device Settings" window. Click the IP Net Address tab and enter the IP address of the device in the IP Address field. When the program is compiled and ready to be uploaded to the control system, you will have the option to upload this default IP table. This method is especially useful on site if you want to change one or more IP addresses without changing the program. Alternatively, as with all 2-Series control systems, the PRO2 also has the capability to function as a peripheral device, or "slave", in a master/slave arrangement with Operations & Installation Guide ­ DOC. 5962B 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards: C2ENET-1 & C2ENET-2 · 15 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 another control system. Here the IP table of the PRO2 must contain just one entry for the master control system. Refer to the "Creating an IP Table" section within the latest version of the Crestron e-Control® Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) for more information. Example Program An example program for the C2ENET-1/2 is available from the Crestron website (www. crestron. com). Select Downloads | Example Programs | Miscellaneous | eControl 2. Uploading a Program Refer to a 2-Series control system document for uploading information. TCP/IP Client and TCP/IP Server Symbols In typical TCP/IP Terminology, a client connects to a server. Since the sockets are generic TCP/IP, the client can connect to any server (Crestron's TCP/IP Server symbol or any non-Crestron server) and the server can accept a connection from any client (Crestron's TCP/IP Client symbol or any non-Crestron client). The server symbol "listens" for a connection on a particular socket, and a client symbol is capable of connecting or disconnecting a socket. The IP address is specified in the IP table on the IP ID where the symbol resides and the port number is specified in the symbol. For example, if the server symbol is dropped on IP ID 15, and the IP table entry for IP ID 15 is 192. 168. 1. 1, the server will listen for a connection from a 192. 168. 1. 1 on the port number specified in the symbol. NOTE: An IP address entry of 0. 0. 0. 0 allows connection from any IP address. If the IP table contains valid IP addresses, connection will be allowed only from the specified addresses.

Consult the latest Crestron Product Catalog for a complete list of 2-Series control systems that are Ethernet-enabled directly or via a C2ENET-1/-2 Ethernet card. CRESNET ID Cresnet ID, a unique identity code ranging from 03 to FE (in hexadecimal), is given to all devices that communicate using the Cresnet network protocol. DEFAULT ROUTER A default router is a router that sends packets within the local network to destinations outside of the local network, or receives them from outside and propagates them onto the local network. It is also referred to as a Gateway. ETHERNET HUB Inexpensive four to 16 port devices that provide a way to physically tap into an existing Ethernet connection and expand the plugs available, but do not perform any packet routing. GATEWAY See Default Router above. IP ADDRESS Internet protocol address is a unique number that is used to represent every single computer in a network. The format of the IP address is four numbers separated by dots (e. g. , 198. 123. 456. 7). IP ID The IP ID is a two-digit hexadecimal number that is used to differentiate a given device from a group of Ethernet devices in a control system with the same IP address. [. . . ]
