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 with good results:
Belkin (large model) F5U103
I/O Gear GUC232A
Keyspan USA-19QW
Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same
results.
The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication
between the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is
preferred, consult the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference
Guide (Doc. 6052) or the respective Operations Guide for the control
system. These documents are available from the Downloads | Product
Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). Refer to
the figure on the next page for a typical connection diagram when
uploading files.
Note: Use a standard DB9 male to female “straight-through” cable.
