Quick Start Guide 1: Sending e-Mail (demo3)
1 Install this package on your PC
Presumably, since you are reading this PDF file, you have already done this.
2 Connect a CNMSX-PRO (with touchscreen)
Connect a programming cable (a standard modem cable) from any COM port on
your PC to the COMPUTER port on the front or back of the CNMSX-PRO control
system. Connect a touchscreen to the control system set up for CRESNET ID 03.
3 Upload all control system software
The demo files can be found in the
demos folder (also accessible
through the Start Menu shortcut
e-control Mail Demos)
Open the Crestron Viewport and establish communications with your control system.
Use the FileTransfer | Send Touchpanel… command to upload demomail.hex
to the touchscreen at ID 03. Use the FileTransfer | Send Program… command to
upload the compiled SIMPL windows file demo3COM.bin to the CNMSX-PRO.
4 Connect the null modem cable
Make sure pins 4, 5, and 6 are not
connected.
Connect a null-modem cable from COM1 on the PC to COM A on the
CNMSX-PRO.
5 Run the “server”
The installer sets the server to
use the Configuration Settings
file demomail.ini.
Select shortcut e-control Mail Server from the Crestron folder in the Windows Start
Menu. If the title bar of the window does not read “e-control Mail Demos,” use the
File | Configuration file… command to select the file demomail.ini.
6 Specify an SMTP (outgoing mail) server address
The initial configuration
password is: crestron2
Give command Server | Configure…, select the e-Mail tab, and enter an SMTP
server’s IP address or domain name. Close the window.
7 Enter your e-mail address
Depress the down-arrow key to
leave the row, and click Yes to the
“Commit Changes?” dialog.
For testing purposes, you must provide an e-mail address which you can check for
incoming mail. Give command e-Mail | Tables… to bring up the e-Mail Tables
window. Enter your address in the addr field (column) of the first record (row)
(GEORGE WASHINGTON) of the eMail_Addr table. Save the change by either
repositioning the cursor to a different record or by closing the window.
8 Start server protocol
Give the command Server | Start Server w/Signal Analyzer. (The Signal Analyzer
is good for demos because it shows you the various signals going back and forth.)
9 Start the demo
On the touchscreen, navigate through the setup instructions to the demo screen. This
final page-flip to the demo screen starts the demo.
10 Send an e-Mail message!
From the SILLY MESSAGES list, select the message called, INVITE. Notice that the
default recipient for this message is “George Washington” (you). Or, select another
message, then select GEORGE WASHINGTON from the U.S. PRESIDENTS list to
override the default. Press the Send Now button. When the button feedback goes
low, the message has been sent. (You should now check your incoming mail for a
message from the control system.)
