2-Series Card Cage System Crestron RACK2
Running Programs From Compact Flash
On power-up or a hardware reset (HW-R), the control system first checks for a
program on compact flash and then internal flash. The console command
CFAUTORUN controls the actions of the control system when a compact flash is
inserted into a running system. If CFAUTORUN is enabled, when a compact flash
card is inserted or removed from the system, the system automatically performs a
program reset (SW-R) and the boot order described above is used to find the
program to run. If CFAUTORUN is disabled, then the user must either press the
SW-R button on the front panel or issue a program reset through the Viewport to
switch programs.
Other Compact Flash Related Functions
In addition to the previous topics that are impacted by compact flash availability,
other Viewport command functions-including Erase Program, Erase Web Pages, and
Send Generic Files-permit you to choose between internal flash and compact flash
when selecting programs/files for processing.
A new SIMPL Windows command File | Copy Output to Compact Flash copies a
compiled SIMPL Windows program (SPZ) file to a compact flash reader/writer on a
PC. Click Browse to locate the SPZ file; select the drive letter of the CF
reader/writer from the drop-down list. Click OK to copy the file.
Advanced Console Commands
The SIMPL Windows online help file provides a full listing of console commands
that are valid for 2-Series control systems. You can access the RACK2 console in a
variety of ways: via a serial connection (RS-232) with a PC, over Ethernet via the
LAN port, or through Telnet, among many other methods. It is also possible to issue
console commands through logic, by adding a Console symbol to the SIMPL
Windows program.
The Console symbol is only visible in the Symbol Library when “Special” is selected
as the Symbol Set. Click Edit | Preferences. In the Symbol Set area of the General
tab, select Special as shown in the following illustration.
"SIMPL Windows Preferences" Window
Console commands are provided for advanced programmers. However, most
functions and commands can be selected from the various Viewport menus.
