Auto Update Mechanism
4-Series control systems provide an automatic update mechanism that centralizes updates on a
remote server and allows devices to automatically download and update their respective
components when updates are available. The centralized location can be a web server, a
MyCrestron.com portal, or a private server.
Through the auto update mechanism, a control system can be scheduled to automatically
download updates and can also trigger automatic updates for every device that it controls. The
auto update mechanism will also periodically provide feedback to the user, including estimated
time for updates, any failures, and successful updates.
Configure the Auto Update Mechanism
To turn on the auto update mechanism for the control system:
NOTE: This procedure assumes that a manifest file has already been created and is stored in
a centralized location. For more information about the manifest file, refer to Manifest File
(on the facing page).
1.
Issue the auenable on command.
2.
Issue the aumanifesturl [url] command to set the URL for the remote manifest file,
where url is the URL of the manifest file in the following format:
[http or sftp]://username:password@[hostname or ip]:port/path/file
3.
Issue the aupollinterval [interval_in_minutes] command to set how often the
control system polls the update server for updates.
NOTE: Control systems round up to the nearest hour.
4.
Issue the autime [time] command to set the day of the week and time when the update
manifest file should be read, where TIME is formatted as [day_of_week]hh:mm
l
day_of_week: Day of the week when the manifest file should be read
l
hh:mm: 24-hour time when the manifest file should be read
l
Specifying only hh:mm will make the update run every day at that time. For example,
inputting autime 11:00 will make the update run at 11:00 AM every day.
l
Specifying day_of_week with hh:mm will make the update run only at that day and
time each week. For example, inputting autime friday 11:00 will make the
update run at 11:00 AM every Friday.
5.
Issue the auusername [username] command to set a username for downloading
automatic updates.
6.
Issue the aupassword [password] command to set a password for downloading
automatic updates.
