Crestron Toolbox
The Crestron Toolbox (replacement for Crestron Viewport) is a broad-based
software package that accomplishes multiple system tasks, primarily using an
RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between a PC and one or more Crestron control
systems.
You can use the Crestron Toolbox to:
• Observe system processes.
• Upload operating systems and firmware.
• Upload programs and touchpanel projects.
• Set or change device Network IDs.
• Change serial numbers.
• Run scripts to automate tasks.
• Perform system diagnostics, and much more.
The Crestron Toolbox allows you to perform these functions using simple graphical
views and click and drag methods.
Identity Code
Every piece of equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique
identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to
FE (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs reside within all
Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as specified in the software
(SIMPL Windows) that runs the system. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device
Settings” on page 20 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.
The Net ID of the TPS4 has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple TPS4s in
the same system must be unique. Net IDs can be changed from a personal computer
(PC) using SystemBuilder
™
or Crestron Toolbox, or through the device SETUP
MENU as described on page 16.
NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to “Communication Settings” on page 22. If communication
cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the
latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is
available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
The Crestron Toolbox provides several methods to easily set or change device Net
IDs for any device on the network. The following method permits you to change the
Net ID of any device in the network through the “Network Device Tree” window.
NOTE: This method prevents you from setting duplicate IDs.
This method permits you to manually set the Net ID for any device in the network,
can be used to set any known Net IDs that may require changing, and may also be
used for non-TSID equipment. This method will not permit you to choose an ID
already in use by another device. A warning message will appear if you attempt to
use an ID that is already in use.
