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 CEN-RGBHV; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
Indirect Communication

CEN-RGBHV connects to control system via Cresnet.
•
Establish communication between the PC and the control system as
described in the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems Reference
Guide (Doc. 6256).
•
Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
CEN-RGBHV using the expected communication protocol (Indirect). Select
the Cresnet ID of the CEN-RGBHV and the address book entry of the
control system that is connected to the CEN-RGBHV.
•
Display the CEN-RGBHV’s “System Info” window (click the

CEN-RGBHV
•
Establish serial communication between CEN-RGBHV and PC.
•
Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the CEN-RGBHV via
the Crestron Toolbox (
Functions | Ethernet Addressing
); otherwise enable
DHCP.
•
Confirm Ethernet connections between CEN-RGBHV 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.
