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.
NOTE: The Crestron Viewport is available as a pull-down command from SIMPL
Windows and VT Pro-e ( Tools | Viewport ) or as a standalone utility. The Viewport
utility performs multiple system tasks, primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP
connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to observe system
processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change system and network
parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among
many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal emulator for generic file
transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in
the Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool,
the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading
programs and projects.
The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program,
VT Pro-e project or upgrade the firmware of the TPS-5000 touchpanel. However,
before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.
Communication Settings
Connection of a PC to the TPS-5000 touchpanel can be direct via the RS-232 port on
the touchpanel or through a control system (Cresnet). Both methods of connection
provide setup for RS-232 communication.
NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron
recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a
USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices with
good results:
Belkin (large model) F5U103
I/O Gear GUC232A
Keyspan USA-19QW
Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same results.
To prepare the TPS-5000 for uploading or upgrading, refer to the following figure
for a typical connection diagram.
