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. Once communication has been established, files (for example,

programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (or device). Finally,

program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP

table) to ensure proper functioning.

NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the Web site are for authorized Crestron

dealers and Crestron Service Providers (CSPs) only. New users must register to

obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the FTP site).

expected serial communication protocol (RS-232, auto-detect baud rate, no

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

2. Display the PAC2’s “System Info” window (click the

icon);

communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
