3.  Repeat the “Communication via RS-232 Port” procedure on page 17 to 

establish communications.  

4.  Verify that the proper COM port on the PC has been selected. Some 

PCs have more than one COM port, some of which may be internal 
(e.g., for a modem). If verification can not be made, consult the user’s 
manual or contact the PC manufacturer.  

5.  Repeat steps 5 and 6 of the “Communication via RS-232 Port” 

procedure on page 17 to re-initialize communications.  

Loading the System Program 

To load the system program into the CEN-TVAV, use the Crestron Viewport or the 
Transfer Program option in SIMPL Windows. For consistency, the following 
procedure uses the Viewport. To upload a BIN file into the CEN-TVAV, complete 
the following steps in the order provided. 

1.  If the Crestron Viewport is not open, select 

Tools | Viewport 

to open 

the Viewport dialog box to connect to the CEN-TVAV. 

2. Select 

File Transfer |

 

Send Program

 (alternatively, depress 

Alt+P

) to 

open the Cresnet Simpl Program dialog box.  

3. Use 

the 

Browse

 button to locate the supplied BIN file.  

4.  As shown below, click the 

Send Program

 button to initiate program 

upload to the CEN-TVAV. A “Transfer in Progress” dialog box opens, 
but no response is required. If SIMPL+ files are present and the 
SIMPL+ Program(s) option is checked in the “What to Send” field, the 
associated files will be transferred after the program is transferred. 

Cresnet Simpl Program Dialog Box 

 

5.  When a Query dialog box opens to create the permanent memory 

image, click 

No

6.  After transferring the program file, click the 

Check Program 

button to 

ensure that the file loaded properly. The information in the 

Current 

Program

 field of the Cresnet Simpl Program dialog box should update 

and display the file currently loaded. If the information does not update, 
repeat steps 3 through 5 of this procedure. If this does not remedy the 
problem, contact Crestron customer service for assistance.
