• Establish direct serial communications between the AES and PC.
• Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the AES via Crestron
Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable DHCP.
NOTE: When taken out of the box, the AES is configured for DHCP
operation. If a DHCP server is available and the AES is connected to the
network, the IP address can be obtained from the About screen as described
on page 29.
• Confirm Ethernet connections between AES and PC. If connecting through
a hub, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
Alternatively, Use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports
directly, without using a hub.
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
AES with the AES’ TCP/IP communication parameters.
• Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon) and select the
AES entry. Communications are confirmed when the device information is
displayed.
