Connect a CNMSX-PRO (with touchpanel)
Connect a programming cable (CNSP or equivalent) from any
COM
port on your
PC to the
COMPUTER
port on the front or back of the CNMSX-PRO control
system. Connect a touchpanel to the control system set up for CRESNET ID 03.

The demo files can be found in the
demos
folder (also accessible
through the
Start
Menu shortcut
e-control Vote Demos
)
Open the Crestron
Viewport
and establish communications with your control system.
If you have not already done so, use the
FileTransfer | Send Touchpanel…
command to upload
demovote.hex
to the touchpanel at ID 03. Use the
FileTransfer | Send Program…
command to upload the compiled SIMPL windows
file
demo1COM.bin

demos
folder and select the file

Reconfigure the server by selecting different options in the
