Old mini systems


John McMahon
 

Ok, you Crestron programming veterans, I have a doozie for you. I have an old
Cresnet II mini system with a wired panel CNWP-64 from the mid to late 1990's.
It has run pretty smoothly until a department decided to upgrade the projector
from an old electrohome to a Sharp PDG210. Now, after re-vamping the old cresnet
program, I have discovered that SIMPL-windows cannot communicate with the
system.

Some good folks at Crestron have told me to update the monitor and the operating
system. However, the monitor files for this relic are seemingly non-existent and
I can't check what's installed either.

I would like to avoid using the old dos-based program because it has a lot of
unnecessary "features" programmed by my predecessor's predecessor and there's no
driver for the system.

Any help would be appreciated. At this point, i'm willing to try anything.

Thanks,

There is no 'Monitor' in the old hardware, you upgrade the OS
firmware.
You have to upgrade the OS to 3.18 (you have to do this from the DOS
version) but then you should be able to program using SIMPL for
Windows. If this is a IIP system, do NOT upgrade the OS...you can
only program those using Workshop 4.12. Don't throw it
