Direct Serial Communication
Crestron devices that have an RS-232 port can be connected directly to a PC.
To prepare the touchpanel for direct communication from a PC, refer to the
following figure. Connect the RS-232 port of the computer directly to the RS-232
port of the touchpanel using Crestron Cable Number STCP-502PC or equivalent.
Refer to "RS-232" on page 14 for pin assignments.
NOTE: Direct serial communication is a faster method for transferring programming
and projects than indirect serial communication, which uses the control system's
Cresnet connection.
Direct Serial Communications Setup Connections

3. Click the Address Book icon
Book to open the Address Book. The Address Book allows you to maintain
a list of accessible control systems and network devices. You can establish a
session with any or all of the devices in the address book (provided the PC

4. Select the device from the Address Book or click Add Entry and type a
name for the new device.
