TPS-GA-TPI
• Establish serial communication between TPS-GA-TPI and PC.
• Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the TPS-GA-TPI via the
Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable
DHCP.
• Confirm Ethernet connections between TPS-GA-TPI and PC. If connecting
through a hub or router, 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 or router.
• Use the Address Book in the Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
TPS-GA-TPI with the TPS-GA-TPI’s TCP/IP communication parameters.
• Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon) and select the
TPS-GA-TPI entry.
