This section describes how to configure X-Series and 2-Series equipment for
integration into a LAN.
Windows DHCP/DNS Server Configuration
Crestron’s 2-Series control systems (minimum CUZ 3.041) and TPS touchpanels
support DHCP in the following environments:
• Windows 2000 Server with DHCP Server and DNS Server (Dynamic DNS
enabled)
• Windows NT 4.0 Server with DHCP Server and WINS Server
In the configuration requirements below, a scope defines the range of IP addresses
for the network. Typically a scope defines a single physical subnet on the network.
Scopes provide the primary way for the DHCP server to manage distribution and
assignment of IP addresses and any related configuration parameters to clients on the
network.
Scope options are client configuration parameters applied specifically to all clients
that obtain a lease within a particular scope. Some commonly used options include IP
addresses for default gateways (routers), WINS servers, and DNS servers.
The network administrator should configure the Windows Server as follows:
Configuration 1: DHCP + Dynamic DNS (Windows 2000 only)
The network administrator should configure the DHCP scope to include the
following scope options:
• 003 - Router
• 006 - DNS Servers
• 015 - Domain Name
The DHCP scope should also have the following options enabled:
• Always dynamically update all nodes
• Enable updating of nodes that don’t support dynamic DNS
The DNS Server should have the following option enabled:
• Enable WINS Resolution (Windows (NT 4.0)
• Enable WINS Forward Lookup (Windows 2000)
Configuration 2: DHCP + DNS + WINS (Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000)
The network administrator should configure the DHCP scope to include the
following scope options:
• 003 - Router
• 006 - DNS Servers
• 015 - Domain Name
