Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES
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 AES; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
Direct Serial Communication
NOTE: Serial Communication or USB communication (see below) must be used
for initial setup of Ethernet parameters when the out-of-the-box functionality is not
used.
