Crestron UPX-2

Uploading and Upgrading

Direct Serial
58 ¥ Universal Presentation Processor: UPX-2
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, projects 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 UPX-2; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
To prepare the UPX-2 for communication, refer to the following figure for a typical
connection diagram.
Communications Connections
NOTE: You must connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the UPX-2 to establish
communication for the first time. After the initial setup, the mouse and keyboard
will not be required except for troubleshooting.
