[. . . ] It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces (i. e. , windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and monitor a Crestron control system. To create a program with a CNRFGWA, consult the operations and installation guide for any of the one-way wireless RF touchpanels or remote devices. The latest versions of these guides can be obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www. crestron. com). Example Program The CNRFGWA is used with Crestron's wireless one-way RF remote devices and touchpanels such as the ST-1550C. An example program for the ST-1550C that includes the CNRFGWA is available from the Crestron FTP site (ftp. crestron. com/ Examples). Search for ST-1550C_SIMPL_Windows_example_file. smw. Uploading Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport. Operations Guide - DOC. 8086A Wireless RF Receiver: CNRFGWA · 7 Wireless RF Receiver Crestron CNRFGWA NOTE: The Crestron Viewport is available as a pull-down command from SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e (Tools | Viewport) or as a standalone utility. The Viewport utility accomplishes multiple system tasks, primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to observe system processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change system and network parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal emulator for generic file transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in the Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool, the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading programs and projects. NOTE: Firmware for the CNRFGWA is not upgradable in the field. Before attempting to upload, it is necessary to establish communications. Communication Settings NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices with good results: Belkin (large model) F5U103 I/O Gear GUC232A Keyspan USA-19QW Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same results. The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication between the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, consult the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) or the respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are available from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www. crestron. com).
