Wall Mount Touchpanel Media Center Crestron TPMC-4SM

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, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or

device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID

or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.

Establishing Communication

Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPMC-4SM; refer to the Crestron

Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication: TCP/IP

communication.

TPMC-4SM

The TPMC-4SM connects to PC via Ethernet:

1. Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the TPMC-4SM via

Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable

DHCP.

NOTE: Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to detect all Ethernet

devices on the network and their IP configuration. The tool is available in Toolbox

version 1.15.143 or later.

2. Confirm Ethernet connection between TPMC-4SM and PC. If connecting

through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45

connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two

LAN ports directly without using a hub or router (via static IP and a power

injector, if no other power is supplied).

NOTE: Some PCs may not require a crossover cable. Check with PC

manufacturer.

3. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the

TPMC-4SM with the TPMC-4SM’s TCP/IP communication parameters.
