Transferring System Information to the C4630 SE
All programming that you perform in the Sonance Control Manager must be transferred from your
computer to the C4630 SE unit via its front-panel USB connection (see
Figure 27). The C4630 SE comes
with a USB cable that connects between the USB connector and your computer.
Note: Before you can transfer programming to the C4630 SE via the USB port, you must
initialize the C4630 SE to your computer. To do this, provide power to the C4630 SE then connect
the USB cable between it and your computer. Your computer should recognize the C4630 SE and
automatically install the required drivers to the appropriate folders.
If your computer does not recognize the C4630 SE, you can go to the computer’s Device Manager
