Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet or Ethernet network, consider the following:
•
Use Crestron Certified Wire.
•
Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
•
Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION:
Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the
equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is
needed for the system (
).
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page 87.
The DVPHD can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, media server and other IP-based devices.
For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to
the latest version of the Crestron e-Control
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available from the Crestron Web site (
).
Identity Code
Net ID
The Net ID of the DVPHD has been factory set to
03
. The Net IDs of multiple
DVPHD devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a
personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” which starts on page 50).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
•
The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
•
Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
IP ID
The IP ID is set within the DVPHD’s IP table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple DVPHD devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
•
The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
•
Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
