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,
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 CEN-NVS200; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication:
TCP/IP communication.
NOTE:
Required for operation with a Crestron control system.

The CEN-NVS200 connects to PC via Ethernet:
1. Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the CEN-NVS200 via
Crestron Toolbox (
Functions | Ethernet Addressing
); otherwise enable
DHCP.
NOTE:
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.
2. Confirm Ethernet connection between CEN-NVS200 and PC. If connecting
through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45
connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two
LAN
ports directly without using a hub or router (via static IP and a power
injector, if no other power is supplied).
NOTE:
Some PCs may not require a crossover cable. Check with PC
manufacturer.
