Here's a lowdown on a great "feature" in case anyone trips across it before you spend too much time tearing your hair out.
In the 2-series, if you have an array and attempt to access an element beyond what it's declared for, you get a zero result and (I believe) an error in the log. (A slap on the wrists, and obviously not the results you're expecting)
In the 3-series, however - the remainder of the code following the line the error is on is THROWN OUT like last week's rancid leftovers. You get an error in your log, sure - but anything that relied on the block of code completing ain't gonna get satisfied. (Y'know, like, turning off the semaphore on a parsing routine)
So make sure you do range checking before accessing arrays on the 3s... :(

I don't really understand. How have they paid for iPad functionality in their system already?

Could be worse. AMX is over $700 PER DEVICE because they use a licensing system and the customer doesn't buy the app (it's free). They buy a license from YOU. That is a lot tougher to explain but is still WAY cheaper than buying an AMX/Crestron touch panel.

Re: Get IP Address of Device In IP Table
Not sure about the rcon, but I do know the WHO command will show connected IP addresses in the IP table (as well as console sessions).

Problems with Carrier Infinity Module
Hi, I'm using the Carrier Infinity module from Crestron (v2), and I'm having one heck of a time with it. I thought I'd reach out to this group for ideas. Fundamental problem: The module works for a while, then stops querying the HVAC system for information. This can happen in a few hours after boot, or as long as a few days. But eventually, it happens. The obvious result is that displayed data becomes stale. When this occurs, if I do something to change the state of the system (put a zone in HOLD mode, say), then the module will start communicating again. Until it stops again at some later time. Things I have tried to resolve this: 1. First occurred on PRO2. Upgraded to PRO3, no change. 2. Modified code to run in separate "slot" of PRO3 (as a separate program). No change. 3. Put the code on a QM-RMC running older (v3) firmware. No change. 4. Went to Carrier to report the problem, they said Crestron supports the module.
Worked with Crestron. This is ongoing, no solution (yet). I did get a BETA version (v2.3, not on the WWW site yet), but this occurs as well. I believe Crestron verified that they can replicate the problem, but there is no solution as of yet. I did recently upgrade to the Infinity Touch control, which (presumably) allows me to use the Crestron Infinity Touch module (although, with the same SAM board, the old module works perfectly). I can try that if folks are having better luck with that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much! /Jeff

Just a note to everyone who had issues with the mjpeg from the Wirepath DVRs on the TSW. The new firmware (released today) fixes it. I can confirm it actually works now (tested on the TSW-750).

Re: Get IP Address of Device In IP Table
Found it!
If you send the console command 'who' to the DMPS, it lists all active ethernet consoles, which includes the TPMC-4SM.
A quick module in S+ will pick out the IP of any IP ID that you want.

Get IP Address of Device In IP Table
Hi all,

The RS485 is ok. I am able to control the camera from the NVS setup page. I know that I can connect the camera to processor and let it go, but want to use NVS200 module. But can't connect to NVS from the processor. Both Crestron control system server in NVS (regarding to manual this is only way to say to NVS with witch control system to communicate) and NVS module in the program pointing to itch other IP addresses and both has 8080 port value After uploading ip table shows that NVS (correct ip) is offline and the port is 41794! I tried to change it manually with no luck !! It turns back to 41794 after program restart!!! Tried also to put 41794 in NVS settings. As you already understand no luck :( Any help appreciated.

I do this all the time, having a "garden shed" in the wilds which, it goes without saying, has far more connectivity than it needs (my wife complains that the only reason we need a security system there is to protect the technology and the security system itself�.). If you can, create Dynamic DNS domains at mycrestron.com so you don't have to worry about WAN IP address changes. It's free and works well but don't forget to include the Dynamic DNS module in the program!

1 - There is a tech note that goes into this in more depth on Crestron's site, but it basically involves setting up port rules on the router to allow connections from the outside to come in. Depending on the router, you can usually set the iPad to always attempt to use the external address, so the same connection profile will work whether you're on the internal LAN or truly outside.
2 - follows 1 pretty closely. You don't need to change anything on the processor - just rules in the router to let you "dial in" from the outside on port 41794. When it's properly set up, you just need to point Toolbox to the external IP address, and the router will direct the request to the processor.
3 - As long as you have the app running on the iPad, use the Toolbox System Info tool to connect to it. You'll have the option to load a project to it, just like it was any other touch panel.

2. Ho do you setup the processor and router so that I can remotely load updated programs directly onto the processor without being on-site?
3. Last question, How do you load a VT Pro file onto an iPad locally, so it doesn't have to download from processor every time.

It's not about "paying twice", it's about playing by Apple's rules, over which neither you nor Crestron has any control - Apple is the gatekeeper here. Like Chip said, if they already paid for iPad functionality they don't have to pay twice - they have to pay to UPGRADE the app to enable better features. Or you can just take $99 out of your bottom line if you're bad at explaining it to them.

That's not true, these 30 iPads will not be on the same Apple ID. I don't mind my customers paying $99 for the iPad app, but think that customers that have paid for iPad functionality in their system should not have to pay twice. The explanation is techy, communication to customers should always be solution driven imo.

For $99? Hell if they have 1 iPad it is $99. If they have 30 iPads, it is $99. Sounds like a non-issue. You have a multiple factor of that invested in redesigning the panels.
Could be worse. AMX is over $700 PER DEVICE because they use a licensing system and the customer doesn't buy the app (it's free). They buy a license from YOU. That is a lot tougher to explain but is still WAY cheaper than buying an AMX/Crestron touch panel.

Hey guys, am I the only one who finds it hard to explain to my customers who bought the Mobile Pro app recently that if they want to upgrade their experience they need to purchase the upgrade for another $99?
