NOTE

:  SIMPL Windows automatically changes the IP ID values of a 

device added to a program if a duplicate device or a device with the same 
default IP ID already exists in the program. Always ensure that the 
network device IP IDs set via Viewport match the ones in your SIMPL 
Windows program. 

NOTE:

  For operation of a touchpanel that contains the TPS-ENETL, 

refer to the “IP Table Setup” section of the latest revision of the Crestron 
e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052). The latest version can be 
obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of Crestron’s 
website (

www.crestron.com)
