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,
programs or 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 CEN-IDOCV; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
USB
NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.

CEN-IDOCV
The COMPUTER port on the CEN-IDOCV connects to the USB port on the PC via
the included Type A to Type B USB cable.
1. Connect a power-carrying Ethernet cable to the LAN PoE port to provide
power to the CEN-IDOCV.
2. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the
expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are
connected, identify the CEN-IDOCV by entering “CEN-IDOCV” 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.
3. Display the CEN-IDOCV’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
TCP/IP/PoE
NOTE: Required for operation with a Crestron control system.
