These are often very large files that need not be reloaded with every transfer. Updating the Operating System As with all 2-Series control systems, operating system files for the MC2E have a . cuz extension. You can obtain . cuz updates (when available) from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website. To download an update, click the . cuz file, choose the Save to Disk option, and then specify the directory where the update is stored. NOTE: In some cases Microsoft's Internet Explorer may append a . zip extension to a downloaded . cuz file. For example, a file called "C2-1008. cuz" may appear as "C21008. cuz. zip. " If this happens, rename the file, removing the . zip extension. NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the website are for Authorized Crestron dealers and Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers (CAIP) only. New users may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the FTP site). To upload the new . cuz to the control system: 1. Open Viewport and select File | Update Control System. Browse to the . cuz file and click Open to start the transfer. After the transfer is complete, the MC2E automatically reboots. To confirm the transfer, click Diagnostics | Check Ops Version. The Viewport console should display the new . cuz version number. 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 MC2E console in a variety of ways: via a serial connection (RS-232) with a PC, over Ethernet via the LAN port, or through Telnet, among many other methods. 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. In the Symbol Set area of the General tab, select Special as shown after this paragraph. 22 · 2-Series Professional Media Controller: MC2E Operations Guide - DOC.
