The window below will appear:Īt the top it tells you what serial port it is trying to communicate with. Go to that folder and click on “Settings”. The software, however is under a folder in your start menu called “UPDD”.
The software should be named, “Touch the PC”. Remember, you have to register with and have the necessary access level to get the required software.
Why not just have a universal mouse driver to control the mouse using USB? I don’t know, bring it up with Crestron and tell them to add this.įirst, download the necessary software. The biggest gripe about this setup is that it requires a serial com port to talk to the PC.
A USB-to-Serial adapter (if your computer doesn’t have a com serial port). 
Any TPS or TPMC touch panel model that has rs232 capability. Any 2-series Crestron processor (I am using an AES or AV2). Start by making sure you have the right equipment: I came across this when writing my Certification Exam for Crestron programming, so I figure I will share this as there will be others wondering about the same. I suppose you could even run xpanel on the PC and use Touch-the-PC to control it. Basically allowing to use the touch panel as a mouse for any Windows enabled PC, Touch-the-PC is very simple to set up and the benefits really increase the ability to control the system. Crestron’s Touch-the-PC is one attempt to provide such additional functionality. Full HelpDesk functionality including system diagnostics, monitoring and control is possible in real-time.Having a thousand dollar Crestron touch panel is a shame to not be used to its full potential. The exact touchpanel GUI is presented on the remote PC, replicating every button-press, including system feedback. The result is a suite of inspired solutions called XPanel.Rather than simply providing remote access, XPanel, using e-Control2, truly replicates the Crestron touchpanel experience on any PC or PDA. e-Control2 provides a fully transformable platform through Crestron's VTPro-e® GUI design software. Crestron introduced e-Control®2, its second generation of IP-based control solutions, utilizing a Microsoft® COM/ActiveX™ foundation. Web pages were created in Java or HTML, for the first time allowing system managers and endusers access to the system from anywhere in the world.As the world leader of control system innovation, Crestron continued to revolutionize IP control, taking e-Control® to the next level. The original eControl enabled remote system control via a web browser. All are compatible with any Ethernet-equipped 2-Series control system, which support DHCP/DNS and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for the ultimate integration of IT and AV.In 1998, Crestron developed e-Control®, the industry's first IP-based control system. Within VTPro-e®, Crestron's touchpanel GUI design software, there are five XPanel options: XPanle for Mac®, XPanel EXE, XPanel IE, XPanel PDA and XPanel Emulator.
