during the upload.
Load Network Device
The Load Network Device command uploads firmware upgrades to network
devices. These updates are contained in .upg files, although in many cases upgrades
must be extracted from .zip files.
Updates are obtained from the Crestron Web site (registration is required). To
download an update, click the file and choose the Save to Disk option, then specify
the directory where the update will be stored. If the update is zipped, extract all the
zipped files to the same directory and review any "Readme" documentation before
continuing with the upload procedure.
To upload the update, select the Network ID of the device and click OK. Then
browse to the appropriate directory, select the .upg file and click Open to begin the
transfer.
Update Plug-in Card
The Update Plug-in Card command uploads firmware upgrades to control cards
installed in the control system. As with the network device firmware, these updates
are contained in .upg files, although in many cases upgrades must be extracted from
.zip files.
Updates are obtained from the Crestron Web site (registration is required). To
download an update, click the file and choose the Save to Disk option, then specify
the directory where the update will be stored. If the update is zipped, extract all the
zipped files to the same directory and review any "Readme" documentation before
continuing with the upload procedure.
To send the update, select the slot where the card is installed and click OK. Then
browse to the appropriate directory, select the .upg file and click Open to begin the
transfer.
Retrieve Program
The Retrieve Program command copies the current program from either internal or
Compact Flash to disk.
If the Viewport detects a program in Compact Flash, click Yes to retrieve the
program from Compact Flash, or No to retrieve the program from internal memory.
Click Cancel to cancel the operation.
General File Transfer
The General File Transfer submenu provides options for transferring files in cases
where the Viewport operates as a generic terminal emulator. In this mode the
Viewport console can transfer files in ASCII, XModem, or XModem 1K formats.
The Choose File command helps minimize delays by providing quick access to a
file. Before beginning the file transfer, browse to the appropriate directory, select the
file and click Open. This will make the file immediately available for selection when
the file transfer operation begins.
