Crestron PAC2 Professional Automation Computer
As shown on the previous page, click Yes to retrieve the program from Compact
Flash, or No to retrieve the program from internal memory. Click Cancel to cancel
the operation.
When a program is uploaded, that program's filename is added to the New Program
drop-down list. This makes it convenient to reload frequently used programs, as they
can be selected from the list without need to browse to a directory. To delete the list,
click Clear History.
You can also click Check Program to display the header information of the
currently loaded program.
Another way to verify that the program has been transferred successfully is to select
Report Program Information on the Viewport Functions menu. Program
information is also displayed in the Viewport console whenever power is removed
and re-applied to the PAC2.
Uploading Web pages to the PAC2
The PAC2 provides a built-in Web server for e-Control applications. The PAC2
allots 2.5 MB of memory for “user files” such as Web pages, mailbox, and the
compiled program/SPZ file. For detailed information, refer to “Uploading Web
Pages” in the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide, Doc. 6052. The latest version is
available as a PDF on the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
NOTE: If you have a Compact Flash reader/writer drive on your PC, you can load
HTML pages to a Compact Flash card using Windows Explorer or any other file
transfer method. When the card is inserted into the Memory Expansion slot of the
PAC2, the Web pages will be recognized as valid for e-Control so long as they are
located in a directory called HTML. (The HTML directory must also include a
configuration file called _config_ini_, which identifies the default page—contact
Crestron for further information.)
NOTE: For IP setup information, refer to the Operation & Installation Guide for the
2-Series Ethernet Interface Expansion Cards: C2ENET-1 & C2ENET-2, Doc. 5962.
The latest version is available as a PDF on the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com).
Uploading Touchpanel Projects via the PAC2
You can use a connection to the PAC2 to upload VT Pro-e projects to any Cresnet
touchpanel. Compiled projects for TPS panels are contained in VTZ files; projects
for all other touchpanels are contained in HEX files.
Before uploading, open Viewport and select Diagnostics | Report Network Devices
to verify that the touchpanel is being detected by the control system. (As with any
network device, touchpanels must be identified by unique hexadecimal network IDs.
These IDs, set in the SIMPL Windows program, and the IDs set when configuring
the touchpanel must match.)
To upload a project:
1. From VT Pro-e: Click the Project | Upload button
on the toolbar,
or click File | Upload Project.
From Viewport: Click File Transfer | Send Touchpanel or press
Alt+T.
