Specifications

Software Crestron e-Control

standalone executable. Use the control system’s built-in “hardware” gateway

(127.0.0.1).

When you compile the project, VT Pro-e will generates an .exe program file and other

associated files and saves them in a folder with the project name and an .xexe

extension. You have to transfer this folder and all its contents to the user’s machine.

You can save the XEXE folder in any directory, and you can create a shortcut to the

EXE file from the Windows desktop, as you would with any program.

After you transfer the program files, launch the executable on the user’s machine. This

will open the e-Control 2 screen and display the message: “The connection to

hardware was not established.” Click Settings on the Options menu and enter the IP

address or fully-qualified domain name of the control system. Then refresh the page

by clicking Restart on the File menu, or pressing the F5 key.
