Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues
Filezilla (and presumably others) are nice because you can open connections in different tabs for all of your devices on the jobsite, then have multiple transfers happening at the same time.? For example, 1 tab for the processor, then a tab for each of the 5 TSW panels, etc.? Once you get the source directories and destination directories set, after you've made changes and recompiled the project files, you just have to tab through each one and start the transfers.
Does anyone know of a way, in Filezilla or any other FTP program, to save a set of tabs as a "site" so that you can reload the tabs, with source and destination directories already set, from a saved config file?? That would save the couple minutes it takes to get all your connections setup the next time you are on the jobsite. |

Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues
I use Directory opus for FTP. ?I think it also supports (for an extra fee) secure FTP, but don't quote me on that. ?Directory Opus is a total replacement for the usual windows explorer file stuff. ?It has multiple tabs, and you can have 2 directory panes (each with multiple tabs) as well. ?You can do all sorts of scripting (I haven't delved into that) but just for the convenience of having the tabs and such it's amazing. ?It also has a nice preview tool built into it as well. ?I got sick of having multiple directory windows open, this solved it nicely. ?The FTP was a nice bonus when the 3 series started to support it.
Just keep in mind, this is not a free tool, but I found it well worth the money. |

Re: RS422 on 3-series
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýCool¡ yeah¡ in addition to the usual fun of TD and RD you also have the fun of + and ¨C for each of those. ? But at least I know it should work J ? Doing some more digging it looks like we might need to install a plugin on the switcher to enable comm for this model¡ but I¡¯m also still confused about how a cable with nothing connected on one end is generating replies ¨C but the installers have sworn that it¡¯s the right cable each time I¡¯ve asked. Tomorrow I might trace it myself. ?

I've done several Sony
EVI-H100 cameras via RS-422 on 3 series processors. It works well, but I do
seem to remember needing to wire TX & RX +/- reverse polarity of what I had
expected. Check your pinout and try flipping things around. I can at least
confirm it does work once things get sorted out.

SIMPL Compilation error
Newbie question, so apologies if it is foolish... I have been working on some modifications to an existing SIMPL programs for a while without issue. My PC recently had a hard disk failure, so having replaced and rebuilt the system, I re-installed all the Crestron software I had been using and now my compilations fail with a number of LGCMCVT283 Errors, each relating to a DLL that it is looking for in the SPlswork directory; in total there are 10 DLL's that are referenced, including: iPort_v05_03.dll Integra_CDC_3_4.dll tstat_temp_display.dll tstat_sch_2_3.dll tstat_temp_display_v1_1.dll TxtLimit.dll If I compile using D3 I receive 283 errors relted to some different DLL's missing. The DLL's definitely are not present in the SPLsworks folder. I tried Crestron support and they directed me to uninstall and reinstall all the programs and when that did not work, uninstall all the programs, clean the registry (I used cclean on their advice) and reinstall all the programs, all of which wasted a ton of time. So I thought I would turn to the group to see if anyone has a solution. Any ideas? Many thanks for any help you can provide. ? |

RS422 on 3-series
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHave a product (Panasonic AV-HS410 Production Switcher) that I¡¯ve controlled probably close to a dozen times on the 2-series ¨C RS422, 38400, Odd Parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit). ? Now trying to do a room with one of these and a Pro3; production switcher is in COM A ¨C and no love (well¡ actually¡ with cable connected at both ends or disconnected at the production switcher end but plugged into Pro3¡ get ¡°weird ¡± (but very consistent) data echoed back. ? I think this is the first 422 device I¡¯ve come across on the 3-series, so I¡¯m just looking for confirmation that someone has successfully controlled a 422 device from a 3-series port... -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D Commercial Market Director Sr. Systems Architect | Crestron Certified Master Programmer (Gold) ControlWorks Consulting, LLC V: 440.449.1100 x1107 F: 440-449-1106 I: Crestron Services Provider | Biamp Audia Certified | Extron Control Professional ? |

Re: Extron SIS IP Control
Works great.? Only gotcha I can think of is that some of the devices only support one connection at a time, and will close the older connection when a new one comes in.? Nothing too unusual.? Best practice for TCP connections is to keep them alive with a heartbeat every 30 seconds or so, that way you don't have to deal with timeouts and reconnections.

Re: Extron SIS IP Control
Rock solid over IP , just make sure you send a command periodically to keep the socket open.? If the Extron device doesn't see a command within 60 seconds it closes the socket and the Crestron processor will have to reconnect. I usually send something like "Q" to query the firmware version every 30 seconds.? I trigger this from an SAWPULSE fed from my Tx to the Extron TCP Client that drives an ROS and a SEND or SIO.On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 4:17 PM, nick@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

Re: Capture HD Reset

Extron SIS IP Control
Hi all, Does anyone have any good or bad experiences controlling an Extron SMX or anything else that uses SIS over IP? I know the commands and they work, but I'm concerned with 1) automatic TCP disconnect and 2) the copyright message that is transmitted every time I connect. Should I keep the connection alive and reduce the disconnect time? Or should I just go serial? I don't mind serial but, it's 2014. |

Re: Crestron Lifesize and Blue Jeans
My answer applies to all vtc systems, not just Lifesize and/or Blue Jeans:
If they are dialing the call from a Crestron touch panel they usually want to type in the bridge access code from the touch panel as well so I always make a way for them to send DMTF tones from the same keypad... either a button to switch to DTMF or, depending on the codec and which module you are using, simply watching for a call to be connected and then switching over to DTMF; this can be a drawback though if they need dial multipoint calls at times too. The short answer is yes, I normally incorporate DTMF keys on the touch panel but it kinda depends on the hardware and the client as to how I do it. |

Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues
Username crestron, no password.
SSH from other clients like Putty or SecureCRT is still kind of wonky (they don't really support all the terminal things a real SSH server would, so backspacing doesn't erase the character on your screen, but it still works), but it works great otherwise. |

Re: Absolute Humidity / Calculate "Power of x" in SIMPL+
Markus, take a look at dewpoint.zip in file setction. It is the module for a dew point calculation where inputs are temperature and humidity from C2N-RTHS.?
The calculation is made by lookup-table method. It is probably not the most accurate method, but for my needs it's Ok. |

Re: Crestron Nest (Cedia Announcement)
I'm rather glad they're not giving out the scheduler. It's too complex to put on a panel. It's better to jump to their app. On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 10:42 AM, stainbow1@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues
"I still load that way....only reason is, i have NO CLUE how to load with
an ftp.? any help there would be greatly appreciated."
With WIn 7, I just go to the start menu and use the "Search programs and files" text box - type "ftp://<ip of processor/panel>" and hit return. The file directory of the device shows up in a window like any other hard drive/usb stick.? Drag files to the appropriate destination, then telnet to the box and type... "puf" for firmware "progload -p:<x>" for the program you dropped into slot "x" "projectload" for UI files ? - Chip |
