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. Once communication
has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be
transferred to the control system (and/or device). Finally, program checks
can be performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP table)
to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the CEN-RFGW-EX;
refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details.
• Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the
CEN-RFGW-EX via the Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet
Addressing); otherwise, leave DHCP enabled. (The unit ships with
DHCP enabled.)
• Confirm Ethernet connections between CEN-RFGW-EX and PC.
If connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through
cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5
crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports directly without
using a hub or router.
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for
the CEN-RFGW-EX with the CEN-RFGW-EX’s TCP/IP
communication parameters.
• Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon) and select
the CEN-RFGW-EX entry.
