Uploading and Upgrading

100 • Media System: Adagio AMS
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 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.
While the next section provides an overview for communication, refer to
"Establishing Communications with the Control System" in the Crestron 2-Series
Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256) for connection details. If
communications cannot be established, refer to "Troubleshooting Communications"
in the same guide.

Establishing Communication

Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
NOTE: Serial Communication or USB communication (see below) must be used
