NOTE: Crestron Toolbox displays a customized list of functions depending on the
type of device with which it is communicating.
TCP/IP Connection
Before communicating with an Ethernet-enabled control system over TCP/IP, a static
IP address or the address/host name of the DHCP server (if DHCP is to be used)
must be obtained from the network administrator. The RS-232 connection previously
described must be used to configure the unit’s TCP/IP settings. After configuring the
IP information of the control system, further communications can be done over
TCP/IP. For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron e-Control
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052). The guide is available from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com/manuals).
