Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Ethernet network, consider the following:
 Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
 Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
The MPC-M5 can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, media server and other IP-based devices.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control

Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available for download from the Crestron Web site (www.crestron.com/manuals).
Identity Code
The IP ID is set within the MPC-M5’s table using Crestron Toolbox™. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple MPC-M5 devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
 The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL™
Windows program.
 Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
