“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” Window
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a set of protocols that
defines how to transfer data between two computers. TCP monitors and ensures
correct transfer of data. IP receives the data from TCP, breaks it up into packets, and
ships it off to a network. The IP address is a unique number consisting of four parts
separated by dots, e.g., 165.113.245.2.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic
IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the IP
address of the device can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports
a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. New
computers can be added to a network without manually assigning each one a unique
IP address.
IP Table
Touch IP Table on the setup menu to open the “IP Table Setup” window.
Edit, remove or enter a control system’s IP address in the IP table to enable
communication between the touchpanel and a control system. The touchpanel can
communicate with multiple control systems.
For more information on IP tables, refer to the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series
Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron
website.
