WPR-48
27-button mode
In 27-button mode, the pushbuttons can trigger up to three functions depending on
where it is pressed. In this configuration the WPR-48 is programmable using the 27
<
_Pg1
> digital presses that correspond to buttons 1 through 9, left, right and center.
18-button mode
In 18-button mode, each of the nine pushbuttons can trigger up to two functions,
depending on whether the button is pressed on the left or right side. Pressing the
center of the button has no effect in this mode. In this configuration, the WPR-48 is
programmable using the 18 <
_Pg1
> digital presses that correspond to buttons 1
through 9, left and right only (no center).
9-button mode
In 9-button mode, each pushbutton can trigger one function. In this configuration, the
WPR-48 is programmable using the first nine digital presses on the symbol detail—
that is, <
Left1_Pg1
> through <
Left9_Pg1_IfOnlyPg1
>. None of the other digital
presses has any effect in this mode.
Uploading and Upgrading
Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming
software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their
development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the
files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled
files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers,
etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features
are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload
via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport.
NOTE:
The Crestron 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. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a
support and diagnostic tool, the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over
development tools when uploading programs and projects.
The following sections define how one would upgrade the firmware of the WPR-48.
However, before attempting to upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.
Communication Settings
NOTE:
For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron
recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a
USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices:
Belkin (large model) F5U103
I/O Gear GUC232A (discontinued)
Keyspan USA-19QW (discontinued)
