Slave Control System’s IP Table
NOTE: The slave device’s IP table can only be loaded into the slave device through
Crestron Toolbox with a PC directly connected to the slave control system. SIMPL
Windows cannot override the slave device’s IP table when loading a program onto a
master control system.
NOTE: If a control system is operating in the Ethernet Slave mode, the Product
Info section of the “System Information” window will indicate the control system as
a “Eslave”. The Program Info section is not displayed as the slave control system
does not have a program that is running.
NOTE: After changing the IP table, the control system will reboot.
Configuration and Programming
Use SIMPL Windows to configure master-slave relationships between control
systems in a network and to program the master control system using slave devices.
NOTE: Each port on the master and slave system that requires configuration must
be individually configured. In our example, a COM port on Slot 6 of the slave
system must be configured separately from any COM port on Slot 4 of the master
system.
Configuring a Control System as a Master Control System
There are no special SIMPL Windows procedures for configuring a control system to
operate in the master mode.
NOTE: If Ethernet slave devices are to be added, an Ethernet port must be present
on the master control system.
Configuring a Control System as a Cresnet Slave Device
To incorporate a control system as a Cresnet system slave, drag the Remote Cresnet
Processing symbol for the control system to be added from the Cresnet Control
Modules | Cresnet Remote Processing Modules folder of the Device Library and
drop it in the System Views. In this example, we are using a PRO2 as the master and
an MP2E as a slave device. The PRO2 System Views shows the MP2E as a slave
device in slot 9 with its default Net ID (assuming that no other C2Net devices are
present as shown in the following illustration). A slave control system must have a
Net ID of 03 or higher to be a slave device.
