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) to ensure proper
functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the C2N/C2NI-CB; refer
to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of
communication: indirect serial communication.

• Establish communications between the PC and the control system
as described in the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems
Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron
website (
http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
Programs and Firmware
Program, project or firmware files may be distributed from programmers
to installers or from Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available
from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product
releases. One has the option to upload programs via the programming
software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox. For details
on uploading and upgrading, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file or the
Crestron Toolbox help file.
