Crestron C2N-MMS Professional Multimedia Switch
Uploading and Upgrading
NOTE: Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each
device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released
features. Please check the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/updates) for
the latest versions of software and firmware. New users are required to register to
obtain access to this site.
Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming
software allows the programmer to upload programs to the control system after their
development and firmware upgrades to network devices. However, there are times
when the files for the program are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled
files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers,
etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features
are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload
via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox.
NOTE: Refer to the “Crestron Toolbox” on page 9 for important information
regarding compatible versions of Crestron Toolbox and Viewport.
The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program to
the control system or upgrade the firmware of the C2N-MMS. However, before
attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications between
the PC and the C2N-MMS.
Establishing Communications
The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication between a
PC and the C2N-MMS via the control system. This method can be used to
communicate with the control system directly and with a C2N-MMS via the control
system’s Cresnet connection. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, consult the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) or the
respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are available
from the Crestron website. Refer to the following figure for a typical connection
diagram when connecting to a C2N-MMS via a control system.

Control System
1. Ensure that all devices are connected to the control system and the control
system is connected via serial cable to the PC.
2. Open Crestron Toolbox and click Tools | Manage Address Book to display
a list of available devices. Select Serial on COM1 as the connection type.
Serial on COM1 is an entry in the DefaultAddressBook that is included
with Crestron Toolbox.
