With the 2 Series processor, simply browse to the .cuz file and click
Open
to start
the transfer.
With the X Series processor, the
Current
text fields display the version numbers of
the various files that are currently loaded in the control system. These version
numbers often differ from each other since some files, such as Monitor ROM, are
rarely updated whereas other files, such as the operating system, are updated more
often.
Browse to the .upz file to be uploaded and click
Open
. The version numbers for this
new .upz file and the updates it contains will be listed in the
Selected
text fields.
(Here again, the version numbers are likely to differ from each other.)
Next, verify that all three
What to Send
check boxes are selected:
Operating
System
,
Monitor
, and
TCP/IP Stack
. Selecting all three update files ensures
optimum system performance and compatibility with future updates. Finally, click
Send
to upload the files to the control system.
In some cases Microsoft's Internet Explorer may append a .zip extension to a
downloaded .cuz or .upz file. For example, a file called "51263x.upz" may appear as
"51263x.upz.zip." If this happens, rename the file, removing the .zip extension.
Update Touchpanel Firmware
The
Update Touchpanel Firmware
command sends firmware upgrades to network
touchpanels. All updates are contained in .csf files, but some must be extracted from
.zip files, while others are contained in self-extracting zip files with a .exe extension.
Updates are obtained from the Crestron Web site (registration is required). To
download an update from the Web site, click the file and choose the
Save to Disk
option, then specify the directory where the update will be stored. If the update is
zipped, extract all the zipped files to the same directory and review any "Readme"
documentation before continuing with the upload procedure.
To send the update, select the Network ID of the touchpanel from the drop-down list
and click
OK
. Alternatively, click
Send Direct to Wired Touchpanel
if the
touchpanel is connected directly to a COM port on the PC. Browse to the appropriate
directory, select the file and click
Open
to begin the upload procedure. Note that if
the upgrade was extracted from a .zip file, then there may be two files, an "a" file and
