DigitalMedia 8G+ Receiver 100 Crestron DM-RMC-100-C 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, firmware) can be transferred to the device. In addition, the IP table of the device can be configured.
Crestron DM-RMC-100-C DigitalMedia 8G+ Receiver 100 USB Communication via DM Switcher To establish USB communication between the PC and the DM switcher: Via LAN Port 1. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the expected communication protocol (USB).
DigitalMedia 8G+ Receiver 100 4. Crestron DM-RMC-100-C (Optional) If additional changes to TCP/IP settings are desired, do the following: a. Assign an IP address, IP mask, and default router for the DM-RMC-100-C via the Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing). b. Close the “System Info” window. c. In Crestron Toolbox, change the Address Book entry for the DM-RMC-100-C so that it uses the IP address assigned in step 4a. d.
Crestron DM-RMC-100-C DigitalMedia 8G+ Receiver 100 IP Configuration If the DM-RMC-100-C is used in a standalone configuration (without a DM switcher), use Crestron Toolbox to create the IP table entry of the DM-RMC-100-C. NOTE: If the DM-RMC-100-C is connected to a DM switcher, the IP table entry of the DM-RMC-100-C is created automatically. 1. Use the Device Discovery Tool to find the IP address of the DM-RMC-100-C.
