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.

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 demo2COM.bin to the CNMSX-PRO. You may now close the Viewport.

Demos,” use the File | Configuration file… command to navigate to the demos
folder and select the file demovote.ini.
