Control Systems
Before setting the control system’s IP information for the first time, use the Crestron
Viewport to establish a serial connection to the unit, as follows:
1. Use a DB9 straight-through serial cable to connect a COM port on the PC to
the COMPUTER port on the control system.
2. Start the Crestron Viewport and click Communication Settings on the
Setup menu. Select RS-232 as the connection type. Then set the PC to match
the communication settings of the control system:
• Port = COM 1. Select the PC COM port (COM 1 - COM 8).
• Baud rate = 115200 for 2-Series processors; 57600 for X-Series.
• Parity = None.
• Number of data bits = 8.
• Number of stop bits = 1.
• Hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS) enabled.
• Software handshaking (XON/XOFF) not enabled.
When communication is established, the title bar at the top of the Viewport
screen will display the serial settings, i.e., “COM1 115200 N81 RTS/CTS”.
You can also click Establish Communication on the Diagnostics menu to
verify communication.
X-Series Control Systems
1. CNXENET and CNXENET+ cards: Click Set Control System IP
Information on the Functions menu.
2. Enter the static IP address of the control system. In the following example,
the control system is assigned the private IP address 192.168.1.4. The
example also shows the default subnet mask for that address class (Class C),
255.255.255.0.
