Uploading & Using Web Pages
Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control systems provide a built-in Web server for Crestron
e-Control applications. Consult your control system’s Operations Guide for
information on the amount of memory that is allocated for “user files” such as Web
pages, mailbox, and the compiled SPZ program files.
NOTE: The default HTTP/web host port is 80. The web port needs to “talk” to the
Crestron port running with the program (CIP port 41794).
Crestron VisionTools Pro-e
In most cases, a Crestron VisionTools Pro-e browser project is created to generate
the Web pages to be uploaded to the control system.
For Crestron e-Control projects:
When a Crestron e-Control browser project is created, VT Pro-e automatically
creates a folder with the name of the project and a .web extension. This web project
folder contains all the HTML files that are sent to the control system and a Java
subfolder. When creating the project in VT Pro-e, the target type should be set to
BROWSER.
NOTE: The BROWSER project type should only be used to open older existing
projects. For all new projects, e-Control2 (XPANEL) should be used.
For Crestron e-Control2 projects:
When a Crestron e-Control2 project is created, VT Pro-e automatically creates a
folder with the name of the project and a .xweb extension. The web project folder
contains all the necessary Crestron e-Control2 files. In VT Pro-e, the target type
should be set to XPANEL.
An IP ID must be assigned to an e-Control2 project. Additionally, an IP address must
be specified in the project’s properties. For further information on this procedure,
refer to the VT Pro-e online help file.
Crestron Toolbox
To transfer the Web pages to the control system and manage the user password, use
the Fucntions | Web Pages… command to open the “Web Pages” window shown in
