2-Series Compact Control System Crestron CP2 & CP2E

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.

While the next section provides an overview for communication, refer to

“Establishing Communications with the Control System” in the Crestron 2-Series

Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256) for serial and TCP/IP connection

details. If communications cannot be established, refer to “Troubleshooting

Communications” in the same guide.

Establishing Communication

Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the CP2 & CP2E; refer to the

Crestron Toolbox help file for details. With the CP2, this connection to the computer

must be a direct serial connection; with the CP2E the connection can be either serial

or TCP/IP.

Direct Serial Communication

NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.

OR EQUIVALENT

• The COMPUTER port on the CP2 & CP2E connects to the serial port on

the PC via a serial cable (Crestron STCP-502PC or equivalent).

• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the

expected serial communication protocol (RS232, auto-detect baud rate, no

parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF disabled, RTS/CTS enabled).

• Display the CP2’s or CP2E’s “System Info” window (click the

icon);

communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.

• Establish direct serial communication between CP2E and PC.

• Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the CP2E via the

Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable

DHCP.

• Confirm Ethernet connections between CP2E and PC. If connecting through

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