the Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable
DHCP.

8-pin RJ-45 connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to
connect the two LAN ports directly without using a hub or router.

CEN-ISERVER with the CEN-ISERVER’s TCP/IP communication
parameters.
• Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon) and select the
CEN-ISERVER entry.
