Software Crestron D3 Pro

Finish View
The Finish View provides the final steps to building your lighting system:
• Synchronizing presets (retrieving learnable light levels that were adjusted by
the end user).
• Compiling the control system logic program and touchpanel projects.
• Setting Cresnet IDs.
• Verifying valid Cresnet network connections.
• Uploading program files to the control system and touchpanels.
Communication Settings
If you have not already done so you must establish a valid connection between the
control system and your PC before you can upload programs or set Network IDs.
This is accomplished using either a serial (RS-232) or TCP/IP connection. If you are
connecting to the control system for the first time, you must use RS-232. You can
then enter the IP information of the control system for subsequent connections over
Ethernet.
For RS-232 communication, use a DB9 straight-through serial cable to connect the
COMPUTER port on the control system to one of the COM ports on the PC.
RS-232 Connection
Launch D3 Pro and click Communication Settings on the Communications menu.
Select the connection type: RS-232. Then use the following settings to make the PC’s
COM port settings match those in the control system:
• Port = COM 1. Select the correct COM port on the PC (COM 1 through
COM 8).
• Baud rate = 115200 (this is the default baud rate of the 2-Series control
processor).
• Parity = None.
• Number of data bits = 8.
• Number of stop bits = 1.
• Hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS) enabled (2 Series).
• Software handshaking (XON/XOFF) not enabled.
