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, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W &
TPS-17B/W; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are three
methods of communication.
Direct Serial Communication NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.

SERIAL VIA CRESTRON
CABLE STCP-502PC
OR EQUIVALENT
• The RS-232 port on the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W 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 (RS-232, auto-detect baud rate, no
parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF disabled, RTS/CTS disabled).
• Display the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W or TPS-17B/W’s “System Info”
window (click the
icon); communications are confirmed when the
device information is displayed.
