Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID) to
ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with an infiNET switch; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication:
indirect communication.

CRESNET infiNET SWITCH infiNET
• infiNET switches connect to control system via infiNET using a
C2N-MNETGW infiNET Gateway.
• Establish communication between the PC and the control system as
described in the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems Reference
Guide (Doc. 6256).
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
infiNET switch using the expected communication protocol (Indirect).
Select the MNET ID of the infiNET switch and the address book entry of
the C2N-MNETGW that is connected to the infiNET switch.
• Display the infiNET switch’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
Programs and Firmware
Program or firmware files may be distributed from programmers to installers or from
Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as
new features are developed after product releases. One has the option to upload
programs via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron
Toolbox. For details on uploading and upgrading, refer to the SIMPL Windows help
file or the Crestron Toolbox help file.
SIMPL Windows If a SIMPL Windows program is provided, it can be uploaded to the control system
using SIMPL Windows or Crestron Toolbox.
