Web Pages and Mobility Projects

Accessing Device Functions

The Web Pages and Mobility Projects function allows users to upload Web Pages and Mobility Projects to a control system.

Mobility Projects are downloaded from Toolbox to a Crestron Control System via the control system's IP address or USB port. From the Control System, a Mobility Project can then be uploaded to an iPhone or other smartphone running the Crestron App.

A control system can store multiple projects. Different project types--for example Mobile App or WebXPanel-- are used by different user interfaces. Projects can be stored on the control system's Internal Flash memory or an external flash drive (“Removable Media”):

Mobile projects are loaded to the HTML root folder while Web projects are loaded to a sub-folder under the HTML root folder. The sub-folder name can be anything, but typically it is the same as the web project name.

Web projects can be loaded to either the internal or external flash, Mobile projects can only be loaded to the internal flash.

Rules for Loading Multiple Projects

The default project is displayed when the control system's URL is entered.

Note: Only a web page can be a default project.

1. When sending multiple XPanel projects, the last project loaded will become the default project.
2. Crestron Mobile Pro and XPanel for Mac projects are not located by browsing to a URL and do not contain configuration files. Rather, the location is defined in the SIMPL module that controls the device. Crestron Mobile Pro and XPanel for Mac projects must be located in the root \HTML folder on the appropriate media, either Internal Flash.

To load projects

1. Select the Enable Web Server and Enable User Page Authentication check boxes, if applicable , and click Apply.
   
   
   Enable User Page Authentication turn authentication on or off for User Pages.

   Notes:

   The control system, in use, and its firmware version determines if the Enable User Page Authentication check box is displayed. For example, this check box will not be displayed on a CP3N with older firmware. Whereas, the check box will be displayed on a CP3N with the latest firmware or a 4-Series control system with any firmware.   User Pages--with private information--may be found on the Web pages. Selecting the Enable User Page Authentication check box requires the user to provide the required credential (i.e: password) to access the User Pages.

   This will reboot the control system.

2. Optionally, click Set User Password button to open the Set Password dialog box, type a password into the text field and click OK.

1. • The password is required whenever the user connects to the control system's URL to view the Web pages. The same user password applies to all loaded projects.

   • To clear the password, open the Set Password dialog box and click Disable Password.
