G-Series Touchpanels: TPS-12G/15G/17G-QM
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-12G/15G/17G-QM; refer to
the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of
communication.
NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.
