Control System Configuration
1. Open Crestron Toolbox and establish communications with the control
system as described in “Establishing Communications with the Control
System” on page 6.
2. Select Functions | Ethernet Addressing… to open the “Ethernet
Addressing” window.
“Ethernet Addressing” Window
3. Select the Enable DHCP check box to enable DHCP. Select the Enable
DHCP and the Enable WINS (if available) check boxes. (The IP Address
and IP Mask fields are ignored if either check box is selected.)
4. Enter the host name of the control system in the Host Name field. The host
name identifies the control system on the network and is automatically
translated into the numerical IP address. The host name can consist of up to
64 characters. Valid characters are 0–9, A–Z (all capitals), and the hyphen.
No other characters are valid. The host name cannot begin with a dash or
number.
5. If applicable, enter the domain in the Domain Name field. This is only
necessary if DHCP is being configured on an Ethernet connection to a
control system that currently has a static address. The domain name is used
to reconnect to the control system after it reboots. With a serial connection,
the domain does not need to be entered.
NOTE: The domain supplied by the DHCP server overwrites the domain
that is indicated in this field.
