Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series
Uploading and Upgrading
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 to the
control system after their development and firmware upgrades to network
devices. However, there are times when the files for the program 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 Toolbox.
The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows
program or upgrade the firmware of the Cameo keypad. However, before
attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish
communications.
Communication Settings
NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port,
Crestron recommends the use of a PCMCIA card over a USB adapter,
particularly if using Viewport.
The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication
between the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is
preferred, consult the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference
Guide (Doc. 6052) or the respective Operations Guide for the control
system. These documents are available from the Crestron website. Refer
to the following figure for a typical connection diagram when uploading
files.
NOTE: Use a standard DB9 male to female "straight-through" cable.
