Crestron DM-TX-200 DigitalMedia™ CAT Transmitter 200
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. Finally, program checks can be
performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP table) to ensure proper
functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the DM-TX-200; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication:
indirect communication. This can be accomplished by using the DM-TX-200 with a
DM switcher (sold separately) or by using the DM-TX-200 in a standalone setup
with a DM-RMC-100 (sold separately).

DM-TX-200
DM-TX-200 connects to DigitalMedia switcher via DMNet.
NOTE: In the SIMPL™ Windows program, when the DM-TX-200 is dropped onto
an input card of a DM switcher, its IP ID is assigned automatically and does not
require additional programming or configuration. Use the information below when
the DM-TX-200 is dropped directly into an Ethernet slot on the control system in
SIMPL Windows, without a DM switcher.

The DM-TX-200 connects to PC via Ethernet:
1. Confirm Ethernet connection between DM-RMC-100 and PC. If connecting
through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45
connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two
LAN ports directly without using a hub or router.
2. By default, DHCP is enabled. Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron
Toolbox to find the IP address of the DM-TX-200. To change the IP
