10 Software updates 

CUES may issue software updates to enhance system performance. We strongly recommend that you 
periodically check for new software releases and update your controller when new software is made 
available. Controller software updates are free of charge. 

Updating the software is straightforward. Follow these steps:  

1.  When the controller connects to the internet (see 

section 7.4.3

) it automatically compares your current 

software with the latest version available on the CUES web site. If a newer version is available, it 
displays a Software Update advisory. Go to step 2.  

Alternatively, you can manually check whether a software update is available.  

1.  Check your controller’s current software version. On the controller, select Settings > Maintenance > 

Software versions.  

Check the latest version available on the CUES web site. Go to step 2. 

Now download the software update. Follow these steps: 

1.  Browse to 

www.cuesinc.com

 and go to the product page. 

Scroll down to the Software section.  

If a newer software version is available, download the newer version. The download file is: 

dvc2-<n.n.n.n>.rdu

 

 

Where 

<n.n.n.n>

 is the controller software version.
