It's always recommended to use the latest firmware to ensure optimum performance. You
can find the latest software versions on www.kling-freitag.de With a firmware revision
number less than 3.4, you must also replace the IP Card built into the controller. To do this,
follow the steps as described in Chapter "Replacing the IP Card and Updating the Firmware"
on page 46. On older controllers, SWRev appears on the display instead of FWRev.
You can request an updated IP card in exchange for the old card from K&F.
6. Connection to the Computer
6.1 Connection of the CD 44
To connect the CD 44 to your computer, you have to use an Ethernet network cable and a
switching hub.
Alternately, you can connect the CD 44 directly (without a switching hub) to your computer.
In this case, you need a cross-linked Ethernet cable or a crossover adapter.
Some network interface cards automatically recognise the transmission and reception wires
of the connected controller and adapt to them. This function is referred to as Auto-MDI(X).
In this case, the type of cable used (cross-linked or normal) is irrelevant. To find out if your
network interface card is equipped with Auto-MDI(X), consult your network interface card’s
documentation.
7. Installation
To install the CD Remote Software, you need either the installation CD which accompanies
the device or the installation file "CD Remote Installer.exe", which you can download from
our website. Using this software, you install on your computer basic software with which
you can install an updated program version or repair or uninstall a version that is already
installed.
Current updated content of the software and the loudspeaker blocks are added during
installation over the required Internet connection. You therefore need an Internet connection
and additional administrator rights on your computer.
