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 C2N-IRGW-F; refer
to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of
communication: indirect communication.
