iMedia Receiver/Processor with Video Crestron IM-RXV1 & IM-RXV3

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.

Establishing Communication

Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3; refer

to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of

communication.

Direct Serial Communication

NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.

Direct Serial Communication

PC RUNNING

CRESTRON TOOLBOX

IM-RXV1 / IM-RXV3

SERIAL VIA CRESTRON

CABLE STCP-502

OR EQUIVALENT

• The COMPUTER port on the IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 connects to the

serial port on the PC via a serial cable (Crestron STCP-502 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 IM-RXV1 or IM-RXV3’s “System Info” window (click the

icon); communications are confirmed when the device information is

displayed.

TCP/IP Communication

Ethernet Communication

PC RUNNING

CRESTRON TOOLBOX

ETHERNET

IM-RXV1 / IM-RXV3

• Establish direct serial communication between IM-RXV1/IM-RXV3 and

PC.

• Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the IM-RXV1/

IM-RXV3 via the Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing);

otherwise enable DHCP.

• Confirm Ethernet connections between IM-RXV1/IM-RXV3 and PC. If

connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with

8-pin RJ-45 connectors. Alternatively, Use a CAT5 crossover cable to

connect the two LAN ports directly, without using a hub or router.

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

IM-RXV1/IM-RXV3 with the IM-RXV1/IM-RXV3’s TCP/IP

communication parameters.
