Quick Start Guide 1: Sending e-Mail (demo3)
1
Install this package on your PC
Presumably, since you are reading this PDF file, you have already done this.
2
Connect a CNMSX-PRO (with touchscreen)
Connect a programming cable (a standard modem cable) from any
COM
port on
your PC to the
COMPUTER
port on the front or back of the CNMSX-PRO control
system. Connect a touchscreen to the control system set up for CRESNET ID 03.
3
Upload all control system software
The demo files can be found in the
demos
folder (also accessible
through the
Start
Menu shortcut
e-control Mail Demos
)
Open the Crestron
Viewport
and establish communications with your control system.
Use the
FileTransfer | Send Touchpanel…
command to upload
demomail.hex
to the touchscreen at ID 03. Use the
FileTransfer | Send Program…
command to
upload the compiled SIMPL windows file
demo3COM.bin
to the CNMSX-PRO.
4
Connect the null modem cable
Make sure pins 4, 5, and 6 are not
connected.
Connect a null-modem cable from
COM1
on the PC to
COM A
on the
CNMSX-PRO.
5
Run the “server”
The installer sets the server to
use the Configuration Settings
file
demomail.ini
.
Select shortcut
e-control Mail Server
from the Crestron folder in the Windows
Start
Menu. If the title bar of the window does not read “e-control Mail Demos,” use the
File | Configuration file…
command to select the file
demomail.ini
.
6
Specify an SMTP (outgoing mail) server address
The initial configuration
password is:
crestron2
Give command
Server | Configure…
, select the
tab, and enter an SMTP
server’s IP address or domain name. Close the window.
7
Enter your e-mail address
Depress the down-arrow key to
leave the row, and click Yes to the
“Commit Changes?” dialog.
For testing purposes, you must provide an e-mail address which you can check for
incoming mail. Give command
e-Mail | Tables…
to bring up the
e-Mail Tables
window. Enter your address in the
addr
field (column) of the first record (row)
(G
EORGE
W
ASHINGTON
) of the
eMail_Addr
table. Save the change by either
repositioning the cursor to a different record or by closing the window.
8
Start server protocol
Give the command
Server | Start Server w/Signal Analyzer.
(The Signal Analyzer
is good for demos because it shows you the various signals going back and forth.)
9
Start the demo
On the touchscreen, navigate through the setup instructions to the demo screen. This
final page-flip to the demo screen starts the demo.
10
Send an e-Mail message!
From the S
ILLY
M
ESSAGES
list, select the message called, I
NVITE
. Notice that the
default recipient for this message is “George Washington” (you). Or, select another
message, then select
G
EORGE
W
ASHINGTON
from the U.S. P
RESIDENTS
list to
override the default. Press the
Send Now
button. When the button feedback goes
low, the message has been sent. (You should now check your incoming mail for a
message from the control system.)
