Loading Crestron Control Software
Crestron control software is available in an electronic form, via CD-ROM, email, or
from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). Regardless of how and from where
the software is obtained, this section provides the necessary installation steps.
Before performing the following set of instructions, obtain a straight-through
RS-232 cable that has a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female
connector on the other. Straight-through means that pin 1 on the male end goes to pin
1 on the female end, etc. The male end plugs into the port labeled COMPUTER on
the 2-Series integrated dual bus control system. The female end plugs into a serial
port on the PC. If the PC has a DB25 male connector, obtain a DB9 to DB25 adapter
(the adapter has a DB9 male end and a DB25 female end).
Installing Crestron Development Tools
Crestron provides software tools for programming the 2-Series integrated dual bus
control system. Even if only the control software is being loaded into the hardware
and there are no plans to do any programming, some Crestron development software
must be installed on the PC. Currently, Crestron programming is accomplished with
the use of the following development tools listed in the table after this paragraph.
