Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards: C2ENET-1 & C2ENET-2 Introduction Features and Functions The 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards, C2ENET-1 and C2ENET-2, are 10/100 BaseT half/full duplex Ethernet cards designed for use in the Z-bus slot of Crestron’s AV2, PAC2, PRO2, and RACK2 2-Series control systems.
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 Specifications The following table provides specifications for the C2ENET-1/-2. Specifications of the C2ENET-1/-2 SPECIFICATION Power Requirements: DETAILS C2ENET-1 2 Watts (0.083 amps @ 24 VDC) C2ENET-2 3 Watts (0.
Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards C2ENET-2 NOTE: When the C2ENET-2 is used as a router, the WAN must be connected to LAN A and the LAN must be connected to LAN B. As shown in the illustration below, the port(s) contains two light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The green LED in the upper-left corner of the port(s) illuminates when it is connected to a working Ethernet. The yellow LED in the upper-right flashes to indicate Ethernet activity. C2ENET-1 & C2ENET-2 Faceplates 4.
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 Ethernet Cable Connections The following illustrates connection examples using a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Setup This section contains hardware installation and IP setup instructions for the C2ENET-1/-2.
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 RACK2 Z-BUS Expansion Slot (Slot 1 shown) Example 3. Remove the Ethernet card from its packaging. 4. On the Ethernet card, make sure the thumbscrews are extended outward, align the card with the card guides in the open Z-BUS expansion slot, and slide the card into slot. 5. Firmly press both ends of the card faceplate to seat it on the Z-BUS connector. CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE CARD IN SLOT. 6.
Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards For Static IP Addressing The following instructions assume that the C2ENET-1/-2 is installed, Viewport is open on the PC, and the control system is powered up. NOTE: If the PC has a DB25 male connector, obtain a DB9 to DB25 adapter (the adapter has a DB9 male end and a DB25 female end). NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters.
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 Set Control System IP Information “Ethernet Configuration” Window In the above example, the control system is set to the IP address 192.168.1.5. The subnet mask is the default for that address class (Class C), 255.255.255.0, and the default router address is set to 0.0.0.0. Static values can be set for the LAN B side of the C2ENET-2 card the same way. Simply select LAN B from the Ethernet Adapter list.
Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards address is 192.168.1.0, then an error message will be generated. Refer to the “eControl Hardware Configuration” section within the latest version of the Crestron e-Control® Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) for more information. For Dynamic IP Addressing 1. Select the Enable DHCP check box to enable DHCP with a Windows 2000/3000 Server; for a Windows NT 4.0 Server, select both the Enable DHCP and the Enable WINS check boxes.
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 If the DHCP server provides the address for the DNS server, it is not necessary to enter these values. Here the DNS server addresses will automatically be filled in. 2. You have the option to change the CIP and CTP port numbers in rare cases where a network conflict may exist with ports 41794 and 41795. The Web port can be changed for security reasons if no firewall or router is protecting the network.
Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards The Viewport title bar will display the new communication settings, e.g., “Connected to ConferenceRoom.com on Port 41795.” For information on secure sockets layer (SSL) configuration, refer to the latest versions of the Crestron 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), and the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052).
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 Error Window Setting a Control System Ethernet Password After establishing communication with a control system via Ethernet, the Viewport may be used to set (or change) a password to limit access to the control system. NOTE: The Ethernet password protects console communications (file transfer, diagnostics, etc.), it does not prevent users from browsing web pages. Do the following to set a password: 1.
Crestron C2ENET-1/-2 2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards Network Address Translation for Crestron 2-Series Control Systems Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of connecting multiple computers on an internal network to the Internet (or any other IP network) using one publicly visible IP address. Current implementation for the Crestron 2-Series control systems includes a combination of the Network Address Port Translator protocol (NAPT) and Bi-Directional NAT.
