Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish
communication.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the MLX-2; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication: USB
communication.

cable.

expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are
connected, identify the MLX-2 by entering “MLX-2” in the Model textbox,
the unit’s serial number in the Serial textbox or the unit’s hostname in the
Hostname textbox. The hostname can be found in the “System Info”
window in the section marked Ethernet however, communications must be
established in order to see this information in the “System Info” window.
• Display the MLX-2’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
