are using or registering your CDR 900 with your CDR
Tool Software.
4.14 CDR 900 Software Setup
This section outlines the setup of your CDR 900 soft-
ware.
4.14.1 CDR 900 and its First Time Use
The CDR 900 is shipped from the factory without
firmware on the device. Your first connection to a PC
involves programming the CDR 900 which consists of
"recovering" the device with the new firmware. Before
doing so, you will need to power up the CDR 900 and
connect to the USB cable to configure your CDR 900.
Follow the steps below to install CDR 900 firmware for
the first time.
1. Launch CDR Tool Software and select Program CDR
900 from Program CDR Devices under the Setup
menu. The CDR 900 VCI Manager will be displayed
and ready to connect to the device. Before proceed-
ing to the next step, make sure 12V DC power from
your CDR Power Supply (P/N: 02002435) is plugged
into the CDR 900 Power and Interface Cable and
the CDR 900 is connected to the PC using the USB
cable. The CDR 900 will boot in Recovery Mode
(only in factory setup the first time use)
2. When you click on the new CDR 900 icon in the CDR
900 VCI Manager screen, the Connect button will
change to the Recover button. Your CDR 900 will be
displayed without the serial number when initially
connected to CDR 900 VCI Manager.
3. Select the Recover button to start the update pro-
cess.
4. Select the Start Update button to install firmware on
the CDR 900.
5. Do not unplug the CDR 900 from the PC or remove
power from the CDR 900 during the update process.
Select OK to continue.
6. The update process will take about 5 minutes to
complete. Once the update process is complete the
CDR 900 will automatically reboot. Wait until you
hear the beep from the CDR 900 before proceeding
to use your CDR 900. Proceed only after you hear
the beep.
7. The CDR 900 icon in the CDR 900 VCI Manager will
indicate it is ready to connect to the PC. Click on the
CDR 900 icon in the manager window and then click
the Connect button on the screen. A green check
mark will be displayed when you are successfully
connected. Below are the possible connection icon
statuses that may be displayed in the CDR 900 VCI
Manager window depending on how the CDR 900 is
connected to the PC.
