NOTE: The Viewport utility performs multiple system tasks, primarily via an
RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to
observe system processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change
system and network parameters, and communicate with network device consoles
and touchpanels, among many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a
terminal emulator for generic file transfer. All of these functions are accessed
through the commands and options in the Viewport menus. Viewport is
available through the SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools

(VT Pro-e)
software.
