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, projects, or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (or device).
Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID or
creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
NOTE:
Crestron software and any files on the website are for authorized Crestron
dealers and Crestron Service Providers (CSPs) only. New users must register to
obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the FTP site).
While the next section provides an overview for communication, refer to
“Establishing Communications with the Control System” in the 3-Series Control
Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 7150) for connection details. If communications
cannot be established, refer to “Troubleshooting Communications” in the same
guide.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the FT-TSC600; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication: USB, and
