SETTINGS FOR NETWORK WITH CRESTRON ONLY EQUIPMENT
If the CNX-DVP4 is being placed on a corporate LAN or a LAN with other equipment besides
Crestron equipment, the IP address, IP Mask and Default Router (also known as the Gateway)
will be provided from an MIS Department of other network administrator.
Other Crestron IP control devices on this network would require that their IP Address, IP Mask
and Default Router also be obtained from the MIS department or other network administrator.
If the Network consists of only Crestron equipment, the following Private Address Ranges are
recommended for use.

Information
, to view the IP Information.
NOTE:
If an error message that the Viewport could not setup the IP information
appears, verify that the CNX-DVP4 has been updated to the minimum operating
system required for Ethernet functionality. If the CNX-DVP4 still cannot set the IP
information, contact Crestron customer service for assistance.
IP Table Setup
Ethernet devices that are addressed by the CNX-DVP4 may have their IP addresses
set either in the SIMPL Windows program (default IP Table) or through the Crestron
Viewport using a PC. Just as each Cresnet device is assigned a Cresnet NET ID, e.g.
03 through FE, to be used when programming, an Ethernet device is assigned an IP
ID that also may range from 03 through FE. Ultimately, each IP ID is converted into
an actual IP address through an IP table that exists inside the CNX-DVP4.
Adding Devices and IP Table Setup in SIMPL Windows
To add Ethernet devices to your program, in the SIMPL Windows' Configuration
Manager, drag an Ethernet device into the program. Drop it on to the "Ethernet
Operations Guide – DOC. 8170A
