G-Series Touchpanel Interface: TPS-GA-TPI
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.

Establishing Communication

Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPS-GA-TPI; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.
Direct Serial Communication
PC RUNNING
CRESTRON TOOLBOX
•
The RS-232 port on the TPS-GA-TPI connects to the serial port on the PC
via a serial cable (Crestron STCP-502PC or equivalent).
•
Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the
expected serial communication protocol (RS-232, auto-detect baud rate, no
parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF disabled, RTS/CTS disabled).
•
Display the TPS-GA-TPI's "System Info" window (click the
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
Indirect Communication
SERIAL,
PC RUNNING
ETHERNET
CRESTRON TOOLBOX
OR USB
•
TPS-GA-TPI connects to control system via Cresnet.
•
Establish communications between the PC and the control system as
described in the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems Reference
Guide (Doc. 6256).
•
Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
TPS-GA-TPI using the expected communication protocol (Indirect). Select
the Cresnet ID of the TPS-GA-TPI and the address book entry of the control
system that is connected to the TPS-GA-TPI.
•
Display the TPS-GA-TPI's "System Info" window (click the
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
