ships it off to a network. The IP address is a unique number consisting of four parts
(called “octets”) 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.
NOTE:
The TPMC-12 ships with DHCP enabled.
Static IP addresses on a dedicated AV/control system allow the integrator to have a
fixed/controllable network. This helps maintain communication stability between
Ethernet devices.

Edit, remove or enter a control system’s IP address in the IP table to enable
communication between the touch screen and a control system. The touch screen 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).

The IP ID is the ID number that is used to identify the touch screen in the control
system’s IP table. The IP ID should match the IP ID set in the SIMPL Windows
program.
