vManager

A free-of-charge software tool called vManager has been developed to manage
the devices. vManager allows for:

•

Setup the IP address, subnet mask, router and DHCP

•

Backup and restore the device’s internal data and settings

•

Perform firmware updates

•

Set the real-time clock of the CueCore1 (The computer’s date and time
will be used)

•

Identify a specific device (in a multi device set-up) by blinking its LED

•

Revert to factory defaults
