This helps avoid issues with bandwidth over the Cresnet bus for jobs which have a large number of Cresnet devices, as well as allowing for additional power supplies to provide power Cresnet devices. 8 8 9 9 For SHOWRUNNER™ installations, the IP address of the DIN-CENCN-2 does not matter as long as it is in the same range as the processor and does not conflict with any other devices on the network. Instead, DIN-CENCN-2s are identified to the processor via their IP-ID. Note that which Cresnet devices are landed at each Net of each DIN-CENCN-2 matters, and if devices are moved between Nets or between DIN-CENCN-2s then the configuration will need to be updated (see below). Chief Integrations typically provides an SRTakeoff.xlsx spreadsheet with an IP Table tab that lists all the DIN-CENCN-2 IP-IDs in the program. If no takeoff is provided, then the processor's IP table can be checked by running the ##ipt -t ##command from the processor after the configuration is loaded.
