Program Management
4-Series control systems are equipped with program slots that are used to store program files.
Program files can be created using SIMPL and SIMPL# Pro, and allow the control system to be
custom programmed to perform certain tasks or turn on certain system functionality.
Load Programs to the Control System
A program must be compiled and uploaded to the control system before it can be run by the
control system.

For more information on creating, compiling, and uploading a program using SIMPL and
SIMPL# Pro, refer to the appropriate help file.
l
For more information on uploading a program using Crestron Toolbox, refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file.
Program files can also be manually loaded to the control system by using an SFTP client to
transfer the program file to the /simpl/app
XX
directory, where “XX” is the respective program
slot on the control system.
IP Table Configuration
Programs running on the control system that use Ethernet to communicate between the control
system and networked devices require an IP table. The IP table allows the control system to
identify and communicate with Ethernet equipment on an IP network.
Each controlled Ethernet device has an IP table, which is also known as a master list. The master
list specifies the IP ID of the controlled device and the IP address or fully-qualified domain name
(FQDN) of the control system(s) that sends it commands.
The control system IP table lists the IP address/FQDN and the IP ID of every device in the
network. The IP ID is a hexadecimal value that must be unique and ranges from 03 to FE.
NOTE: IP tables used in Ethernet-based Master-Slave applications have unique IP table
requirements. For more information, refer to Primary-Subordinate Mode (on page194).
The following commands can be used to view, configure, create, and remove IP table entries for
the control system.
NOTE: IP table information can also be entered using information given in SIMPL and
SIMPL# Pro or via Crestron Toolbox. For more information, refer to the appropriate help file.
