To connect the PC to the control system, refer to the "Obtaining Communications" section of the Operations Guide supplied with the appropriate control system. The latest version of the Operations Guide can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT MANUALS, Hardware section) or Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of the Crestron 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 (Other Products section) or the Downloads page (UPGRADES Library, search for STCOM154. UPG (or a more recent ST-COM-related upgrade)) of the Crestron website. To upgrade ST-COM firmware, complete the following steps. Make sure that no programs are accessing the COM port of the PC. At the PC, start SIMPL Windows or VT Pro-e. From the SIMPL Windows or VT Pro-e menu bar, select Tools | Viewport to open the Crestron Viewport. NOTE: SIMPL Windows may open with an opening splash screen and may display the "What do you want to do?" window. From the Viewport menu, select Setup | Communication settings (alternatively, depress Alt+D) to open the "Port Settings" window, as shown in the diagram after this step. Accessing the "Port Settings" Window 5. Refer to the window shown after this step and verify the communications settings. Make sure that parity is set to None, data bits to Eight, and XModem is selected. Both XON/XOFF handshaking and RTS/CTS handshaking are irrelevant during a firmware upgrade. NOTE: For the purposes of this procedure, it is assumed that communication is via RS-232 (Com 1 at 38400 baud). If performing a firmware upgrade via Ethernet, select TCP/IP as the connection type and provide the IP address.
