DigitalMedia™ Switchers with DMC-CPU3
XPanel-based Configuration Tool
The DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32-CPU3(-RPS) switcher can be configured via web-based XPanel configuration
tool in addition to Crestron Toolbox™ based DM Tool. Using DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32-CPU3(-RPS) IP address
or hostname, point any browser at http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/setup or http://hostname/setup to access the
configuration tool.
The web-based configuration tool doesn’t provide configuration option for the DigitalMedia™ cards and
endpoints. Please use Crestron Toolbox™ based DM Tool to configure DigitalMedia™ cards and endpoints.
Content LAN Port
The DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32-CPU3(-RPS) has built-in Content LAN port for DMC-STR and DMC-STRO card
streaming traffic to be isolated on a secondary network. Streaming network traffic route can be configured to
use Content LAN port on the switcher via web-based XPanel configuration tool or via Crestron Toolbox™ Text
Console command “
CONTENTLAN
”.
You must configure the DMC-STR and/or DMC-STRO card streaming network port to “Auto” or “Internal”
mode. When in “Auto” mode, DMC-STR/STRO card must not have network cable connected to Content LAN
port.
DMC-CPU2 Compatibility Mode
The DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32-CPU3(-RPS) switcher can be configured to work with SIMPL Windows user
program created with older DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32(-RPS) switcher. DMC-CPU2 compatibility mode can be
configured via web-based XPanel configuration tool or via Crestron Toolbox™ Text Console command
“
DMCCPU2MODE
”.
You must never enable this mode for SIMPL Windows user program created with DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32-
CPU3(-RPS) switcher.
Recommended Streaming Settings
When pairing the DMC-STR with the DMC-STRO, it is recommended to stream via RTP with initiation by
receiver. Previous bandwidth and format restrictions have been removed. Use of TS encapsulation at the
DMC-STRO is not recommended due to compatibility issues with many streaming decoders on the market.
With the release of PUF 2.51, the default ports used by the DMC-STRO have changed. Port numbers used in
existing installations will not change on firmware upgrade, but they will change on card or system restore.
Also, new port numbers applied to systems upgrading from pre-PUF 2.51 code will not be applied until after
card restore. Please see OLH 5552
for details.
If the DMC-STR is unable to connect to a third-party encoder (e.g., an IP Camera), re-attempt to connect by
adding “?rtsp_tcp=yes” at the end of the URL (without quotations).
Upgrade Instructions
DM-MD8x8/16x16/32x32(-RPS) switcher and all connected DigitalMedia™ cards and endpoints are updated
via Crestron Toolbox™ PUF Tool.
