Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6465 Audio Server: Adagio AAS-1/2/4 · 11 Audio Server Crestron AdagioTM AAS-1/2/4 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. Establishing Communication Access the AAS' web interface by typing the IP address of the AAS into the location or address field of your web browser. This is the only supported method of communication for uploading/upgrading firmware and software. TPC/IP Communication NOTE: Required for operation with the web interface. Ethernet Communication · · Establish Ethernet communication between AAS and PC. If connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports directly, without using a hub. Use the web interface to ensure your network settings (Menu | Setup | Network Settings) are set to Ethernet for Internet Access and Static for Ethernet Mode. · NOTE: The remote control can also be used to access these settings. Refer to the Crestron Adagio User's Guide (Part Number 2014056) for details. · · Enter the IP address and Subnet mask of the AAS (Menu | Setup | Static Ethernet Settings). Ensure that the Software Update settings are correct (Menu | Setup | Software Update Settings), that they point to "adagio. crestron. com" as the server and that they list the correct user name, password and domain. NOTE: Only local updates require a username and password. [. . . ] Enclose a note specifying the nature of the problem, name and phone number of contact person, RMA number, and return address.
