Programming the parametric equalizer through SIMPL Windows may override the Digital Media Tools settings. For example, if the 5-band graphic equalizer mode is specified in Digital Media Tools and the SIMPL Windows program then changes one of the graphic filters, the system reverts to full parametric mode. SIMPL Windows permits any legal change without regard to the effect on the rest of the filters. NOTE: The Mute On/Off button is the "hot" button for muting the system when Real-Time mode is enabled in Digital Media Tools. This feature protects the speakers if, during Real Time mode, unreasonable values for filters and fields are entered in the program. An emergency MUTE button is also provided at the bottom of each screen. The MUTE button on the tool bar and the MUTE selection on the Tools Menu toggle MUTE on and off. Example Program An example program for the MP2 & MP2E is available from the Crestron website (http://www. crestron. com/exampleprograms). 22 · 2-Series Integrated AV Control System: MP2 & MP2E Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6175A Crestron MP2 & MP2E 2-Series Integrated AV Control System 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.

If communications cannot be established, refer to "Troubleshooting Communications" in the same guide. Establishing Communication Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the MP2 & MP2E; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. With the MP2 the connection to the computer must be a direct serial connection; with the MP2E the connection can be either serial or TCP/IP. Direct Serial Communication NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters. Direct Serial Communication SERIAL VIA CRESTRON CABLE STCP-502PC OR EQUIVALENT PC RUNNING CRESTRON TOOLBOX MP2 or MP2E · · The COMPUTER port on the MP2 & MP2E connects to the serial port on the PC via a serial cable (Crestron STCP-502PC or equivalent). Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the expected serial communication protocol (RS-232, auto-detect baud rate, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF disabled, RTS/CTS enabled). icon); Display the MP2's or MP2E's "System Info" window (click the communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed. · TCP/IP Communication Ethernet Communication (MP2E only) PC RUNNING CRESTRON TOOLBOX ETHERNET MP2E · · Establish direct serial communication between MP2E and PC.
