"Transfer In progress" Window 6 When the transfer is complete, the CEN-COM reboots. Depress ENTER to re-establish communications with the CEN-COM. Stand-Alone Operations: Crestron e-controlTM Crestron e-control encompasses two different technologies. Crestron e-control has both web pages that contain compiled Java classes that are usable from most browsers and an ActiveX control (herein known as ActiveCNXTM) that is usable from Visual Basic, Internet Explorer, or any other ActiveX compatible development environment such as Visual C++. Choose the one that best suits the application and development capabilities. With the Crestron e-control SDK pages can be created to send strings to the CEN-COM device directly. In the button component use the parameters PRESS_STRING, RELEASE_STRING, and OVER_STRING to send strings on the button events press, release, and mouse over, respectively. These web pages can contain web buttons that when pressed send a string to serial devices connected to the CEN-COM. Also use the communication component, JCnx, to act as the message dispatcher to and from all other components in a particular HTML page. Details can 12 · Ethernet RS-232/422 COM Module: CEN-COM Operations Guide - DOC. 5719 Crestron CEN-COM Ethernet RS-232/422 COM Module be found in the Crestron SDK documentation and example files. Be sure to enter the CEN-COM IP address for the IP parameter of this component. The ActiveCNX control can be thought of as a "Virtual Communication Port" or "e-control PC Interface symbol in SIMPLTM Windows. In the case of the CENCOM, it sends and receives serial data. The signals map directly to the device instead of signal number inputs to the SIMPL program. To send a string to COM A use join 1, and for COM B use join 2. For example, call the method SendSerial( 2, "TEST") to send the string "TEST" to COM B. When strings are received in the CEN-COM device the OnSerial( channel, value ) event is fired. To get and set the components properties, right click the ActiveCNX icon and select Properties. The "Property Pages" window appears. It permits the programmer to set initial values. Be sure to check the checkbox, Dynamically add entry to IP table. [. . . ] Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
