NOTE: 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. Viewport is available through the
SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools
