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 (or device). Finally,
program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP
table) to ensure proper functioning.
NOTE:
Crestron software and any files on the Web site are for authorized Crestron
dealers and Crestron Service Providers (CSPs) only. New users must register to
obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the FTP site).
Establishing Communication
