Crestron TPMC-10

Uploading and Upgrading

A compiled VT Pro-e file has the
extension .vtz
Operations Guide – DOC. 6284B

Example Program

An example program for the TPMC-10 is available from the "Example Program"
section of the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms). Search
for TPMC-10.ZIP
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
Please check the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/updates) for the latest
versions of software and firmware. New users are required to register to obtain
access to this site.
Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming
software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their
development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the
files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled
files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers,
etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features
are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload
via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE: The Crestron Viewport utility performs multiple system tasks, primarily via
a TCP/IP connection between the touchpanel and a PC. It is used to observe system
processes, upload new firmware, change system and network parameters, and
communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among many other
tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal emulator for generic file transfer. All
of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in the Viewport
menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool, the Crestron
Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading programs and
projects.
The following sections define how one would upload a VT Pro-e project or upgrade
the firmware of the TPMC-10.

VT Pro-e Project Upload

To upload a compiled VT Pro-e project to the TPMC-10, complete the following
steps.
NOTE: To perform a VT Pro-e project upload, power to the TPMC-10 must be
from the provided power supply, either directly or via the docking station.
1. Verify that the touchpanel has been configured as described in
"Configuring the Touchpanel" on page 10. If necessary, press the WiFi
Access Point button on the "Setup Screen" and select the IP
Information tab to determine the IP Address of the touchpanel.
2. The PC should be connected to the Cresnet system via Ethernet (refer
to "Typical System Configurations" on page 16), and power to the
touchpanel must be supplied via the provided power supply.
3. Connect to the touchpanel through Viewport.
