Uploading Touchpanel Projects
You can use a Cresnet connection from the MC2W to a touchpanel (wired or
wireless via Crestron cable CNSP-586) to upload VisionTools Pro-e projects.
Compiled projects for TPS panels are contained in VTZ files; projects for all other
touchpanels are contained in HEX files.
NOTE: Wireless touchpanels require Crestron cable number CNSP-586 to connect
the wireless touchpanel to the MC2W via Cresnet. When connecting the touchpanel
directly to the Cresnet connector on the rear of the MC2W, power to the MC2W
must be supplied from the power pack (not the Cresnet connector).
