Identity Codes of the CNX-PAD8s 

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity 
code (Net ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number from 
03 to FE. The Net ID of the unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL 
Windows program. The Net ID of CNX-PAD8s is factory set to 44. The Net IDs of 
each of the daisy-chained CNX-PAD8s must be unique and changed from a PC via 
VisionTools

TM

  Pro-e (VT Pro-e) or SIMPL Windows.  

The method for changing the unit’s Net ID is identical regardless of the software 
chosen. Verify that the control system software is running and complete the 
following steps to change the Net ID: 

1.  Disconnect all network devices from the control system. 

2.  Attach one of the CNX-PAD8s that needs to have its Net ID changed to 

the control system.  

3. Select 

Tools | Viewport

 to open “Crestron Viewport” dialog box.  

4. Select 

Functions | Set Network ID

. The software checks the baud rate 

and then opens the “Set Network ID” dialog box.  

5.  The list of current network devices is normally shown in the dialog 

box. Highlight the CNX-PAD8.  

6.  The Net ID of the CNX-PAD8 (default is 44) appears in the box below 

the list. Use the scroll arrow to assign another Net ID.  

7.  When the newly assigned Net ID appears, select the 

Set ID

 button to 

initiate the change.  

8.  The software responds with a successful message to confirm the new 

Net ID.  

9.  To verify this procedure, select 

Diagnostics | Report Network 

Devices

. Confirm that the CNX-PAD8 has a new Net ID code. 

10.  Repeat steps 2 - 10 of this procedure for each CNX-PAD8 that needs its 

Net ID changed.  

11.  Reconnect other network devices that were disconnected in step 1.
