2. Open a text console window and type NVRAMREBOOT ON. This
command will write messages created during rebooting to NVRAM. If an
anomaly exists, this command will save the error even though the control
system has rebooted.
3. To view the contents of NVRAM, retrieve the file from NVRAM as
described in “Retrieving NVRAM Files from the NVRAM Disk” on page
26 and open the error log as described in “Viewing Error Messages with
Crestron Toolbox” on page 30. After the error log has been captured, turn
off the NVRAMREBOOT command by typing NVRAMREBOOT OFF.
Running Programs from Compact Flash
Certain 2-series control systems are equipped with a compact flash slot. On power-
up or a hardware reset (HW-R), the control system first checks for a program on
compact flash (if installed) and then internal flash.
Crestron Toolbox can be used to control the actions of the control system when a
compact flash card is inserted into a running system.
To determine how the control system operates with a compact flash card installed:
1. Open Crestron Toolbox and establish communications with the control
system as described on page 5.
2. Select Functions | Compact Flash to display the “Compact Flash”
window.
“Compact Flash” Window
3. Click the Enable Auto-Run check box to enable the Auto-Run mode.
When operating in the Auto-Run mode, the control system will
automatically reset and run the Compact Flash program when the Compact
Flash card is inserted into the CF slot. If the Compact Flash is removed, the
program in internal Flash will automatically run.
When auto-run mode is disabled, a Program Reset must be sent to the
control system after the Compact Flash card is inserted or removed to run
the program.
4. Click OK or Apply for changes to the Auto-Run mode to take effect.
NOTE: Control systems are shipped with the Auto-Run mode enabled by default.
