Quick Start Guide 1: Request-to-Speak (demo1)
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 touchpanel)
Connect a programming cable (CNSP or equivalent) from any COM port on your
PC to the COMPUTER port on the front or back of the CNMSX-PRO control
system. Connect a touchpanel 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 Vote Demos)
Open the Crestron Viewport and establish communications with your control system.
If you have not already done so, use the FileTransfer | Send Touchpanel…
command to upload demovote.hex to the touchpanel at ID 03. Use the
FileTransfer | Send Program… command to upload the compiled SIMPL windows
file demo1COM.bin to the CNMSX-PRO. You may now close the Viewport.
4 Connect the null modem cable
Make sure pins 4, 5, and 6
are not connected.
Connect a CNSP-532 null-modem cable from COM1 on the PC to COM A on the
CNMSX-PRO. (The programming cable may now be removed.)
5 Run the “server” application
The installer sets the server to
use config file
demovote.ini.
Select shortcut e-control Vote Server from the Crestron folder in the Windows Start
Menu. If the title bar of the window does not read “e-control Vote (SW-VOTE)
Demos,” use the File | Configuration file… command to navigate to the demos
folder and select the file demovote.ini.
6 Start the “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.)
7 Start the demo
On the touchpanel, touch the Start Demo button. You will see a PLEASE WAIT
screen until the signal block becomes fully enabled.
8 Enter a few requests
Touch a few 1 and 2 buttons from the seven “seats.”
9 Recognize a seat!
Recognize a seat by touching a name in a queue. Recognize another seat by touching
another name; force a seat to yield by touching the Yield button.
10 Options
Back out by touching Load or Save; and then Main Menu; and then Shut Down.
Reconfigure the server by selecting different options in the Request button behavior
frame of the Request-to-Speak Console Signal Block Definition window. These
options add functionality to the seats’ request buttons. (Return to step 6.)
