Auto Update Mechanism

3-Series control systems provide an automatic update mechanism that
centralizes updates on a remote server and allows devices to automatically
download and update their respective components when updates are available.
The centralized location can be a web server, a MyCrestron.com portal, or a
private server.
Through the auto update mechanism, a control system can be scheduled to
automatically download updates and can also trigger automatic updates for
every device that it controls. The auto update mechanism will also periodically
provide feedback to the user, including estimated time for updates, any failures,
and successful updates.
