Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading programs and
projects.
The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program,
VT Pro-e project or upgrade the firmware of the Series 1000 touchpanel. However,
before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.

Communication Settings

There is only a single Cresnet connector on the back of the Series 1000 touchpanel.
Therefore, uploading or upgrading must be accomplished through a control system.
The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication between
the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, consult the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) or the
respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are available
from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com). Refer to the figures below for a typical connection diagram
when uploading files.
