Uploading and Upgrading
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 CP3; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are four methods of communication: direct serial,
indirect, USB and TCP/IP.
Direct Serial
NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.
Direct Serial Communication
Serial via
Crestron Cable
STCP-502
or Equivalent
PC Running
Crestron Toolbox
CP3
The RS-232 port on the CP3 connects to the serial port on the PC via a serial cable
(Crestron STCP-502 or equivalent):
1. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the
expected serial communication protocol (RS-232, auto-detect baud rate, no
parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF disabled, RTS/CTS disabled).
2. Display the CP3’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
Indirect
Indirect Communication
Cresnet
Control System
PC Running
Crestron Toolbox
or USB
Serial,
LAN CP3
CP3 connects to control system via Cresnet:
1. Establish communication between the PC and the control system as
described in the latest version of the 3-Series Control Systems Reference
Guide (Doc. 7150).
2. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the CP3
using the expected communication protocol (indirect). Select the Cresnet ID
of the CP3 and the address book entry of the control system that is
connected to the CP3.
3. Display the CP3’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
