Programming Old Equipment


Cody Christensen
 

Hello,

I just got started programming Crestron systems fairly recently, and have
completed one job using a SmartTouch system (ST-CP, ST-1500, ST-IO, ST-VS).
Now I've been asked to learn how to program the "big" systems, and have been
given the following two pieces as my platform to learn with:

1) Cresnet IIP Media Control System
2) CTP-1000DST2 Command Center

My employer had these pieces laying around, and they appear to be fairly
old. Neither seems to be supported in the latest versions of Vision Tools
Pro and SIMPL Windows. I was able to find the CNP in an old DOS version of
Cresnet Workshop, but not the other piece. The CNP seems to be essentially
an older version of the CNMS, and the Command Center is some sort of
in-wall, wired touchpanel.

Does anybody have any ideas how I can use these pieces, or am I stuck with
some new paper weights?

Cody,

You should be able to define both pieces in Cresnet Workshop (SIMPL DOS).
Sometimes you can substitute similar models (at least with touchpanels). I
once did a system with a CTP1000EL (very old), and had to define it in CNWS
as a CTP3000. You may also be able to upgrade the EPROM and/or OPS firmware
to use SIMPL Windows. Check with Tech Support.
