Crestron Toolbox

[Mohammy]

IHIJI allows a connection to the crestron port required for Crestron Toolbox. They allow you to specify what port you'd like and then they give you a string that allows you to put that into Toolbox to connect directly to the Crestron processor. 

 

How do we do this with Domotz? The ability to connect to the Crestron processor via Toolbox for debugging or code dumps is crucial.

Wouldn't this be better served with a VPN?

 

[Mohammy]

Not every project has a VPN or our ability to install one. The secure tunnel is to eliminate the need for touching their network if it's not needed.

Domotz is working on an Open TCP connection, which will allow this type of activity.

 

The current Remote Connection (working for HTTP/HTTPS, RDP, SSH and Telnet protocols) is secured by an HTTPS proxy and other security mechanism, but it limits the usage to a certain number of protocols.

 

With the Open TCP connection you will be able to get a host and port which can be used within the Crestron Toolbox. 

[Mohammy]

Please update me on progress toward the Open TCP Connection?

[Giancarlo]

It should be available in a few weeks. 

 

If you are registered to our mailing list, you should receive the notification as soon as this will be released in production.

 

Thanks for your patience
