7.3 Firmware Update

First back up your data, before you carry out a firmware update.
You can update the software in your Central Station by using this
menu item. You must first download new firmware packets from our
Internet page and store them locally on your computer. You will find
the current software at:
www.maerklin.de/systems.
Follow the download link.
Change the firmware only when you want to correct malfunctions
that are relevant for you or when you want to put in new functions
that you absolutely need. Never change the configuration for a sys-
tem that is working correctly.
• Select the menu item „Firmware update" in order to perform an
update. After that use the „search" button to give the data path for
the desired firmware file.
• Start the update by pressing on the „send" button.
It is important to be patient: An update can take up to
15 minutes. Do not under any circumstances turn the
Central Station off during this period of time! The result
could be incomplete software that will not run.
Make sure that the power supply to your computer and to
the Central Station is not interrupted under any circum-
stances during this period of time. An incomplete update
may make your Central Station unusable. You will then
have to have your Central Station updated at the factory,
which will involve a charge.
• After a successful update, the Central Station should start up
again with the usual screen.
7.3.1 Backing up a Configuration (Backup)
• You should make regular backups of your locomotive lists on the
computer a routine activity. If you should accidentally delete the
lists, you can then retrieve them in the update and not have to go
to all of the trouble and effort of entering the data for these lists
again.
• Select „Backup Configuration" from the screen menu.
• Click on the control surface „Backup Settings".
• Select „Save as File" and backup the file on your computer.
