Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC 

NOTE:

 Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of 

the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the 
Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). 

The following are the earliest useable software version requirements for the PC: 

• 

SIMPL Windows, any version. Requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 
1.1. 

• 

Crestron Database version 16.0.0 or later. Required for SIMPL Windows. 

• 

Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later 

Programming with SIMPL Windows 

The CNRFGWA gateway provides one-way wireless RF communication between a 
Crestron wireless touchpanel or wireless remote device and a Crestron 2-Series or 
CNX control system. 

Although the device itself is not programmable, you can create a program that 
includes a CNRFGWA using the Crestron programming tool SIMPL Windows. 

SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use 
programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all 
Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols. 
SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows

®

 

environment. 

SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems. 
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces 
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and 
monitor a Crestron control system. 

To create a program with a CNRFGWA, consult the operations and installation guide 
for any of the one-way wireless RF touchpanels or remote devices. The latest 
versions of these guides can be obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals 
section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). 

Example Program  

The CNRFGWA is used with Crestron’s wireless one-way RF remote devices and 
touchpanels such as the ST-1550C. An example program for the ST-1550C that 
includes the CNRFGWA is available from the Crestron FTP site (ftp.crestron.com/ 
Examples). Search for ST-1550C_SIMPL_Windows_example_file.smw.  

Uploading 

Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming 
software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their 
development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the 
files for the program and projects 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 Viewport.
