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).
