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,
firmware) can be transferred to the 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 DM-TX-200; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
Indirect
Indirect Communication
SERIAL,
ETHERNET
OR USB
DMNet

CRESTRON TOOLBOX
DM SWITCHER
DM-TX-200
DM-TX-200 connects to DigitalMedia switcher via DMNet:
1. Establish communication between the PC and the DM switcher as described
in the latest version of the DigitalMedia Switchers Operations Guide (Doc.
6755).
2. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
DM-TX-200 using the expected communication protocol (Indirect). Select
the IP address of the DM-TX-200 and the address book entry of the control
system that is connected to the DM-TX-200.
3. Display the DM-TX-200’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
NOTE:
If the DM-TX-200 is in a non-DHCP environment, a default IP address
(192.168.1.232) can be assigned by holding down its
SETUP
button while applying
power. This IP address will overwrite any previous settings and will remain until it is
changed.
When in this mode, the USB console is enabled and HID functionality is blocked.
After rebooting the device, the USB console will be disabled and HID functionality
will be restored.
