DIN Rail Control Processor Crestron DIN-AP2
Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that
each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most
recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or
upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication
has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be
transferred to the control system (and/or device). Finally, program checks
can be performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP table)
to ensure proper functioning.
While the next section provides an overview for communication, refer to
“Establishing Communications with the Control System” in the Crestron
2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256) for connection
details. If communications cannot be established, refer to
“Troubleshooting Communications” in the same guide.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the DIN-AP2; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of
communication.
USB

• The COMPUTER port on the DIN-AP2 connects to the USB port
on the PC via the included Type-A to Type B USB cable.
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using
the expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB
devices are connected, identify the DIN-AP2 by entering
“DIN-AP2” in the Model textbox, the unit’s serial number in the
Serial textbox or the unit’s hostname in the Hostname textbox. The
hostname can be found in the “System Info” window in the section
