CEN-CI3-3 Plug-in Card Installation
NOTE: Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to detect all
Ethernet devices on the network and their IP configuration. The tool is
available in Toolbox version 1.1.5.143 or later.
The CEN-CI3-3 connects to PC via Ehernet:
2. Confirm Ethernet connection between card interface 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 (via static IP and a power
injector, if no other power is supplied).
NOTE: Some PCs may not require a crossover cable. Check with PC
manufacturer.
Ethernet Communication
1. Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the card interface via
Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable
DHCP.
3. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
CEN-CI3-3 with the CEN-CI3-3’s TCP/IP parameters.
Use Crestron Toolbox™ for communicating with the CEN-CI3-3; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details.

following illustration.
4. Repeat procedure (steps 1 through 3) to attach the remaining ear to the
opposite side.
