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). In addition, the IP
table of the device can be configured.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the DM-TX-100/-F; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details.
The DM-TX-100/-F has an internal Ethernet switch that allows communication
between the DM-TX-100/-F and a PC running Crestron Toolbox. As shown in the
following illustration, the DM-TX-100/-F connects to the PC in either of the
following ways:
•
Locally via the LAN port when the DM-TX-100/-F is used in a standalone
configuration (not connected to a DM switcher)
•
Remotely via the Ethernet network over the “M” fiber when the
DM-TX-100/-F connects to a DM switcher

Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to find the IP address
of the DM-TX-100/-F. The tool is available in Toolbox version 1.15.143 or
later.
NOTE:
When the DM-TX-100/-F is used in a standalone configuration
(not used with a DM switcher), DHCP is enabled by default. If desired, a
default IP address (192.168.1.244) can be assigned by holding down its
SETUP
button while applying power. This IP address overwrites any
previous settings and remains until it is changed manually.
