Crestron
DM-MD6X1
6X1 DigitalMedia™ Switcher
To establish TCP/IP communication between the PC and the DM-MD6X1 via the
LAN
port of the DM-MD6X1:
1.
Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to find the IP address
of the DM-MD6X1. The tool is available in Toolbox version 1.15.143 or
later.
NOTE:
When the DM-MD6X1 is used in a standalone configuration (i.e.,
without a DM switcher), DHCP is enabled by default. If desired, a default
IP address (192.168.1.244) can be assigned by holding down its
SETUP
button while applying power. This IP address overwrites any previous
settings and remains until it is changed manually.
2.
Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
DM-MD6X1 using the
TCP
connection type and enter the IP address of the
DM-MD6X1.
3.
Display the DM-MD6X1’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
4.
(Optional) If additional changes to TCP/IP settings are desired, do the
following:
a.
Assign an IP address, IP mask and default router for the DM-MD6X1
via Crestron Toolbox (

).
b.
Close the “System Info” window.
c.
In Crestron Toolbox, change the Address Book entry for the
DM-MD6X1 so that it uses the IP address assigned in step 4a.
d.
Display the DM-MD6X1’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is
displayed.
