overview
Steps to a successful installation
1 Use the supplied VSC46 CATx link cable (
A
) to connect the CCS-XB unit to the OPTIONS port of your CCS4-USB or CCS-PRO4 switch.
2 The next step depends on your switch type:
•
CCS-PRO4
- Use a standard patch cable (
B
) to connect the network port of your CCS-PRO4 to the network port of your computer (either directly or
via a network switch - further information available in the CCS-PRO4 user guide), or
•
CCS4-USB
- Use the VSC40 flash upgrade cable (
C
) (supplied with your switch) to connect the CCS-XB module to the serial port of your computer.
3 Connect the supplied LED monitor indicators (
D
) to the first four LED output ports on the CCS-XB module.
4 If your switch is not already powered on, apply power to it now. CCS4-USB switches need to be re-powered whenever a CCS-XB unit is re-attached;
this prompts them to locate the CCS-XB unit. CCS-PRO4 switches can sense a newly attached CCS-XB unit without the need for re-powering.
5 Download and run the Free-Flow configuration application from the Adder website (www.adder.com) and follow the instructions given in the latest
version of your CCS4-USB or CCS-PRO4 user guide (also available from the Adder website). The section ‘Configuring LED monitor indicators’ will show
you how to assign an indicator to each display.
Note: Once the LED monitor indicators have been programmed, you can remove the VSC40 flash cable or network patch cable connections as these
are not required for operation. You will need to reconnect them, however, if you alter the LED assignments.
