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.

Establishing Communication

Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the PROAMP-7X400; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
Indirect Communication
PC Running
Crestron Toolbox
Serial,
Ethernet
or USB
PROAMP-7X400 connects to control system via Cresnet:
1. Establish communication between the PC and the control system as
described in the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems Reference
Guide (Doc. 6256).
2. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
PROAMP-7X400 using the expected communication protocol (indirect).
Select the Cresnet ID of the PROAMP-7X400 and the address book entry of
the control system that is connected to the PROAMP-7X400.
3. Display the PROAMP-7X400's "System Info" window (click the
icon); communications are confirmed when the device information is
displayed.
NOTE: Required for operation with a PSPHD.

NOTE: If the PROAMP-7X400 is connected directly to the PSPHD and the
NETWORK/DIRECT switch is set to DIRECT, the IP address is 192.168.238.239.
If the PROAMP-7X400 is connected to a LAN, DHCP is enabled. Use the Device
Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to detect all Ethernet devices on the network
and their IP configuration. The tool is available in Toolbox version 1.15.143 or later.
