DigitalMedia 8G™ Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Transmitter 201
Setting the IP Address
3
Setup of the IP address of the DM-TX-201-C depends
on the way the transmitter is configured within the
DigitalMedia system:
● If the transmitter is connected to a receiver/room
controller, the transmitter uses its own configuration
settings. The transmitter ships with DHCP enabled;
however, the default IP address can be assigned by
holding down the SETUP button while the unit boots up.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.236. The default IP
address overwrites the current setting.
● If the transmitter is connected to a DM switcher,
the transmitter is automatically configured by the
quickstart guide
switcher.
If manual configuration of the IP address of the transmitter
is desired, use Crestron Toolbox™ to set the IP address.
