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 control system (and/or 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 HD-DA-2-QUAD; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication:
USB communication.

expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are
connected, identify the HD-DA-2-QUAD by entering “HD-DA-2-QUAD”
in the Model textbox, the unit’s serial number in the Serial textbox or the
unit’s hostname in the Hostname textbox. The hostname can be found in the
“System Info” window in the section marked Ethernet however,
communications must be established in order to see this information in the
“System Info” window.

displayed.
