Crestron CNMSX

NOTE:  Not normally required, the Make Permanent button also creates a 
permanent memory image.  

6.  After transferring the program file, click on the Check Program button 

to ensure that the file loaded properly. The information in the Current 
Program field of the "Cresnet Simpl Program" dialog box should update 
and display the file currently loaded. If the information does not update, 
repeat steps 3 through 5. If this does not remedy the problem, call 
Crestron technical support. Refer to "Further Inquiries" on page 36. 

Complete the following steps in the order provided to test the permanent memory 
image.  

1. Select 

Tools | Viewport to open the “Crestron Viewport” dialog box.  

2.  Unplug the CNMSX and leave it unplugged for about 10 seconds.  

3.  Plug the unit in and observe the statistics displayed in the Viewport 

display field. The program name uploaded into the system also appears. 

4.  Verify the displayed information against what was originally loaded 

when the unit was shipped.  

The CNMSX may include one or more touchpanels. Each panel must be set to the 
proper network ID and loaded with a touchpanel project in order to work properly in 
conjunction with the system program loaded in "Loading the System Program" on 
page 29. For each panel in the system, a separate HEX file describing the graphical 
elements of the panel is required. In some cases, where two or more panels are to be 
identical in usage, a single HEX file may be used for multiple panels. To load a 
touchpanel project into the panel, use the Crestron Viewport or the “Upload Project” 
function in VisionTools™ Pro-e. For consistency, the steps that follow this paragraph 
use the Viewport. To upload a HEX file into the touchpanel, complete the following 
steps in the order provided.  

1.  Verify that the touchpanel is connected to the CNMSX via the 

appropriate network cable. Also, verify that the touchpanel is set to the 
proper network ID. (This info should be available in the system 
connection sheets or directly from the programmer.)  

2. Select 

Tools | Viewport to open the “Crestron Viewport” dialog box, if 

it is not already opened.  

3. Select 

Diagnostics | Report Network Devices (alternatively, depress 

F4) and verify that the touchpanel to be loaded reports back and is at the 
expected network ID.  

4. Select 

File Transfer | Send Touchpanel (alternatively, depress Alt+T) 

and set the network ID to the ID of the touchpanel to be loaded.  

5.  Browse for the supplied HEX file and click the Open button. The file is 

sent to the CNMSX and then over the network to the touchpanel. Verify 
that the panel displays a message saying that the upload is in progress.
