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, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPMC-12; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
Indirect
Indirect Communication
SERIAL,
ETHERNET
OR USB

TPMC-12 connects to control system via Cresnet:
1. Establish communication between the PC and the control system as
described in the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems Reference
Guide (Doc. 6256).
2. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
TPMC-12 using the expected communication protocol (Indirect). Select the
Cresnet ID of the TPMC-12 and the address book entry of the control
system that is connected to the TPMC-12.
3. Display the TPMC-12’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
