Software Crestron 

SIMPL™ 

Windows

 

 
 

When a card with Web pages in the \HTML directory is inserted into a running 
control system, the new pages will only be immediately activated if CFAUTORUN 
is enabled. Otherwise, the console command WEBINIT must be issued to activate 
the new pages. 

Send Generic Files (2 Series only) 

The 

Send Generic Files

 command transfers files to a specified directory in the 

control system. 

Before sending files, the target directory must be open. Use the 

DIR

 and 

CD

 console 

commands to access directories. For example: 
  

Type 

DIR

 to view the contents of the current directory. The root directory is shown 

below. Note that the Compact Flash directory is listed as 

CF0

. 

 

To change directories, type 

CD

 <

Directory>

.  

To create a new directory (only in Compact Flash), open the CF0 directory and type 

MAKEDIR

 <

New Directory

>. 

When the target directory is open, use the 

Send Generic Files

 command to browse 

to the file. Click 

Open

 to transfer the file. 

Following is a list of console commands that work with the Compact Flash directory: 
  

CFAUTORUN

: enables a program autoboot from Compact Flash. 

MAKEDIR

: creates a directory on Compact Flash. 

CD

: changes to a directory on Compact Flash. 

DELETE

: deletes specified files from Compact Flash. 

DIR

: lists the files in Compact Flash. 

FREE

: If Compact Flash is the current directory, displays the amount of space 

available on the Compact Flash card. If internal, gives the amount left on internal 
flash. 

XGETFILE

: retrieves a file from Compact Flash. 

XPUTFILE

: sends a file to Compact Flash. 

Send File/Get File from Mailbox 

The 

Send File/Get File from Mailbox

 commands send and retrieve a file from the 

control system mailbox, a region of memory that is designed to store one file at a 
time, typically the source file for the SIMPL Windows program. To send a file to the 
mailbox, simply browse to the appropriate directory, select the file and click 

Open

. 

To save the contents of the mailbox to a file, browse to the desired directory and 
click 

Save

.
