Crestron C2N-SDC
compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be distributed
from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. In those
instances, one has the option to upload via the programming software or
to upload via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE: The Crestron Viewport is available as a pull-down command
from SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e (Tools | Viewport) or as a
standalone utility. The Viewport utility performs multiple system tasks,
primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between the control
system and a PC. It is used to observe system processes, upload new
operating systems and firmware, change system and network parameters,
and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among
many other tasks. Viewport can function as a terminal emulator for
generic file transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the
commands and options in 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 section defines how to upload a SIMPL Windows
program. Before attempting to upload, 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 PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-
serial adapters. If a USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has
tested the following devices with good results:
Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same
results.
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
