Firmware Upgrade
To upgrade the firmware of the STRFGWX, a local PC that contains the Crestron
Viewport (available in SIMPL Windows or VT Pro-e) is required. To connect the PC
to the control system, refer to the “Obtaining Communications” section of the
Operators Guide supplied with the appropriate control system. The latest version of
the Operations Guides can be obtained from the Downloads page (MANUAL
Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to
register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
Firmware upgrade files are obtained from the What’s New page (Touchpanels
section) or the Downloads page (TOUCHPNL and UPGRADES Libraries) of
Crestron’s website. There have been two releases of STRFGWX firmware 1.5.0, PIC
Ver 15 and 1.66 PIC Ver 19. Both versions may be directly upgraded to [2.4.1] PIC
Ver 22. To upgrade the STRFGWX firmware, complete the following steps.

version earlier than 1.5.0 must be returned to Crestron. Refer to “Merchandise
Returns / Repair Service” on page 16 for further information. Do NOT attempt to
