Quick Start
To see an “out-of-the-box” demonstration of Crestron
e-control Mail
as quickly as
possible, turn to the Quick Start Guide(s) beginning on the next page.
You will need:
•
A Crestron CNMSX-PRO control system
•
A touchscreen (LC-3000, CT-3000, CT-3500, or VT-3500); and
•
A null-modem cable
Follow the instructions in the guides precisely in the order given and you should be
up and running in a matter of minutes.
N
OTE
:
The demos included with this package are all compiled to two versions, a
COM
version for
use with an RS-232 serial connection, and a
TCP
version for use with an Ethernet connection (the
latter case requiring the CNX Gateway). The Quick Start Guides refer only to the
COM
versions of
these programs because setting up a serial connection is far simpler. We strongly recommend getting
at least one demo to work first using a serial connection. Once that works, try the
TCP
versions.
Instructions for setting up TCP/IP communications are provided under “Communications Setup,
Control System Side, TCP/IP,” on page 17).
You do not need to license the software to try the demos provided you are still within
the 15-day free trial period.
