Auto Update Mechanism
3-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 enable 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 page
47.
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 ftp]://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
• DAY_OF_WEEK: Day of the week when the manifest file should be read
• HH:MM: 24-hour time when the manifest file should be read
• 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 11:00AM every day.
• 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 11:00AM 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.
