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 (i.e., 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 or creating an IP table) to
ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the DIN-8SW8; refer to
the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of
communication: indirect communication.
Indirect Communication
DIN-8SW8 connects to control system via Cresnet:
1. 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).
2. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for
the DIN-8SW8 using the expected communication protocol
(indirect). Select the Cresnet ID of the DIN-8SW8 and the address
book entry of the control system that is connected to the
DIN-8SW8.
3. Display the DIN-8SW8’s “System Info” window (click the
icon); communications are confirmed when the device information
is displayed.
