Uploading and Upgrading

Indirect
TCP/IP
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6630A
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-6L; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
Indirect Communication
PC RUNNING
CRESTRON TOOLBOX
SERIAL,
ETHERNET
OR USB
•
TPS-6L connects to control system via Cresnet.
•
Establish communication 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-6L using the expected communication protocol (Indirect). Select the
Cresnet ID of the TPS-6L and the address book entry of the control system
that is connected to the TPS-6L.
•
Display the TPS-6L's "System Info" window (click the
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
NOTE: Required for operation with a Crestron control system.
Ethernet Communication
PC RUNNING
CRESTRON TOOLBOX
•
Establish indirect communication between TPS-6L and PC as stated above.
•
Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the TPS-6L via the
Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable
DHCP.
•
Confirm Ethernet connections between TPS-6L and PC. If connecting
through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45
connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two
LAN ports directly without using a hub or router.
