When the entry is added to the IP Table editor, the
Master
field will read
YES
.
2-Series control systems operating in slave mode can accept commands only from one
control system; thus, the IP Table (Master List) will consist of only one entry.
For the CEN-TVAV
, you also create the IP Table by using the Viewport
Setup IP
Table
command. The CEN-TVAV can operate in
mixed mode
, meaning that it can
contain its own SIMPL Windows program to control devices, while at the same time
operating as a slave device that receives commands from a master control system. The
entry for the master control system is the same as described previously:
1. Set the IP ID of the CEN-TVAV, which should match the IP ID that is listed
in the IP Table of the master control system.
2. Enter the static IP address of the master control system (CEN devices do not
support DHCP).
3. Select
the
Set as Master
check box.
The CEN-TVAV can accept commands from only one control system; thus, the IP
Table should have only one entry that is “set as master”.
For other CEN devices
, the procedure for setting the IP information differs
depending on the device, and is described in each unit’s manual. In all cases, however,
you must use the Crestron Viewport to access the unit’s console. From the console,
enter the static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway address. In addition, you
must specify the IP ID of the unit, together with the static IP address of the control
system(s) that will send it commands.
All the functionality of CEN devices is now also provided by Crestron’s 2-Series
control systems. When operating in Remote Ethernet Processing mode, a 2-Series
processor such as the CP2E provides the same functionality as a CEN-IO, a CEN-
COM, a CEN-TVAV, and more, all in one unit.
The table below shows the number of masters each Ethernet device accepts:
