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 or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
Finally, program checks can be performed (such as creating an IP table) to ensure
proper functioning.
NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the Web site 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).
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the Capture recorder; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication:
TCP/IP.
Ethernet Communication
The Capture recorder connects to PC via Ethernet:
1. Use the Device Discovery Tool (click the
icon) in Crestron Toolbox to
detect all Ethernet devices on the network and their IP configuration. The
tool is available in Toolbox version 1.15.143 or later.
2. Click on the Capture Recorder to display information about the device.
Programs and Firmware
Program or firmware files may be distributed from programmers to installers or from
Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron Web site as
new features are developed after product releases. One has the option to upload
programs via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron
Toolbox. For details on uploading and upgrading, refer to the Crestron Studio help
file, SIMPL Windows help file, or the Crestron Toolbox help file.
Crestron Studio /
SIMPL Windows
If a Crestron Studio (or SIMPL Windows) program is provided, it can be uploaded to
the control system using SIMPL Windows or Crestron Toolbox.

obtain access to certain areas of the site, including the FTP site.)
