Advanced Console Commands
The SIMPL Windows online help file provides a full listing of console commands
that are valid for 2-Series control systems. You can access the MC2W console via a
serial connection (RS-232) with a PC. It is also possible to issue console commands
through logic, by adding a Console symbol to the SIMPL Windows program.
The Console symbol is only visible in the Symbol Library when “Special” is selected
as the Symbol Set. Click Edit | Preferences. In the Symbol Set area of the General
tab, select Special as shown below.
"SIMPL Windows Preferences" Window
Console commands are provided for advanced programmers. However, most
functions and commands can be selected from the various Viewport menus.
NOTE: For more information on console commands, refer to the 2-Series Console
Command Reference Guide (Doc. 6002). The latest version can be obtained from the
Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
Switching Between Master and Slave Mode
The MC2W can be used as a stand-alone master control system running control logic
to support any of Crestron’s network devices. The MC2W is also capable of running
in slave mode so that it can be used with an existing 2-Series control system in a
similar fashion to a standard Crestron Isys
®
touchpanel. Refer to the following to set
the MC2W to master or slave mode operation.
