Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:
•
Use Crestron Certified Wire.
•
Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
•
Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION:
Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how
much power is needed for the system (
).
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page 65.
The TPMC-V12/15 can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between
the device and a control system, computer, media server and other IP-based devices.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052).
Identity Code
Net ID
The Net ID of the TPMC-V12/15 has been factory set to

When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
•
The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL™
Windows program.
•
Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.

may also be set within the TPMC-V12/15’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple TPMC-V12/15 devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
•
The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
