2-Series Professional Media Controller Crestron MC2E
- Additional choices include: Do not send graphic files and Do
not send sound files. These are often very large files that need
not be reloaded with every transfer.
Updating the Operating System
As with all 2-Series control systems, operating system files for the MC2E have a
.cuz extension. You can obtain .cuz updates (when available) from the Downloads |
Software Updates section of the Crestron website. To download an update, click the
.cuz file, choose the Save to Disk option, and then specify the directory where the
update is stored.
NOTE: In some cases Microsoft's Internet Explorer may append a .zip extension to a
downloaded .cuz file. For example, a file called "C2-1008.cuz" may appear as "C2-
1008.cuz.zip." If this happens, rename the file, removing the .zip extension.
NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the website are for Authorized Crestron
dealers and Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers (CAIP) only. New users
may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the
FTP site).
To upload the new .cuz to the control system:
1. Open Viewport and select File | Update Control System.
2. Browse to the .cuz file and click Open to start the transfer.
3. After the transfer is complete, the MC2E automatically reboots. To confirm
the transfer, click Diagnostics | Check Ops Version. The Viewport
console should display the new .cuz version number.
Advanced Console Commands
The SIMPL Windows online help file provides a full listing of console commands
that are valid for 2-Series control systems. You can access the MC2E console in a
variety of ways: via a serial connection (RS-232) with a PC, over Ethernet via the
LAN port, or through Telnet, among many other methods. It is also possible to issue
console commands through logic, by adding a Console symbol to the SIMPL
Windows program.
The Console symbol is only visible in the Symbol Library when “Special” is selected
as the Symbol Set. Click Edit | Preferences. In the Symbol Set area of the General
tab, select Special as shown after this paragraph.
