CompuSTAR CM4200DX - Manual (Page 2)

Note 12: Updating Controller Module
Look at the wiring chart of the module. If it is marked “V”, you have Version 12. If you have any other version, it will show the version
number. Please check
www.compustar.com to find out if there are any new updates. If there is any, we recommend you to update the module
before installation. All three modules, CM4000, CM4200(DX) and CM4300, use same software program.
Updating the Module.
1. You need to have a USB Uploader, the part number CST-USB-ASSY (3 components – a USB cable, a USB Module and a double head data cable.) If you already have a USB Uploader for
OP500 or iDataLink, order the double head data cable, part number USB-DC2 for free of charge. You need to pay freight. USB-DC2 is a cable connecting USB module to CompuStar and has
two connectors instead of one
Or, for a temporary use, you may modify any of the CompuStar antenna cable you have now. See below.
2. Plug in USB connector to available USB port on computer. Do not have anything (idatalink, CM4000, OP500 etc) connected to the updater when connecting it to the computer.
3. Windows will automatically find drivers for the USB upload cable.
4. To retrieve software for updating, please email:
[email protected] . Please write “request for update software” in subject. You can also go to www.compustar.com .
Now you are ready to update your control module
5. You will need to first identify what COM port your USB device is set up to use. To do this, Right-click on "My Computer" and go to "Properties". Once the properties window is on the screen,
click the "Hardware" tap at the top of the window. Then in the main body of the window, click on the Device Manager" button. Under "Ports (COM & LPT)" There should be a device called
"USB Serial Port (COM?)", the number that is in place of the question mark is your selected com port. Disconnect the main harness; the system can not have power while you are
attempting to update its software.
6. The LED/Secure Valet switch must be connected.
7. Connect to the RS232 port of CompuStar.
8. Open the "CM4000 v12" folder, for example, and hold the LED/Valet switch button down while you double-click the file that matches your com port. Example: I use COM5 so I would use
"Update-COM5.bat". Once the LED in the LED/Valet switch starts flashing, you can let go of the button. After it is finished, just disconnect the CM4000 from the USB Updater and connect the next
CM4000 if you have more to do.
II. Option Programming Tables
