Update Via Usb-Stick; Sd-Card: Expanding The Internal Storage - marklin Central Station 3 Manual

Update via USB Stick
If you do not have Internet access to update the CS3 to the newest software version, you can
do so by way of a USB stick.
First download the image data file from the Märklin website
(maerklin.de) and save it in the root directory of a USB stick.
Please wait around 10-15 seconds after you have connected
the USB stick to the CS3. The CS3 detects the new software
version on the USB stick automatically and indicates this via a
small red dot on the "System" icon.
The remaining steps are the same as when updating via
network. Please follow the descriptions on page 6.
Consistently Creating Backups
Of course the CS3 stores entries and settings internally within a few seconds.
Your data is thus safe against a power outage or hard reset. Regular backups,
even onto USB sticks, is still recommended. This way it is simple to undo
substantial changes to the system by restoring to an earlier system state.
SD Card: Expanding the Internal Storage
LinkS88
By way of an SD Card (SDHC) you can
expand the internal storage (4 GB) by
up to 32 GB. It is sufficient to insert the
card into the card slot. You need not
make any settings.
Tip: Märklin recommends you do not
use SD cards as removable storage,
but exclusively for the described
purpose of storage expansion. Utilize
USB sticks for removable storage, such
as to copy locomotive images into the
CS3.
Importing Locomotive Images via Web Browser
The CS3 is delivered with a large variety of locomotive images which should satisfy the needs
of model railroaders in almost all cases. Beyond that you can import your own locomotive
images into the image database of the CS3 (see page 11). The simplest way is through the
web interface of the CS3, which is called up via any web browser.
Important: The CS3 must be connected to the computer via a network router.
To start the web interface, you first need the IP
address of your CS3. To get it, call up the CS3
System Settings (see page 32) and open the section
"IP". In the default configuration, the CS3 is assigned
an IP address automatically by the router. It is
shown in the "IP Address" field (image left).
Now enter this IP address, in our example
"192.168.0.61", into the web address field of your
web browser and press enter: the Märklin CS3 web
interface is displayed on the screen and informs you
about what all can be done via the web interface
(image left).
Move the mouse pointer over the button bar
"Locomotive Images" and click on the displayed
option "Upload". Your locomotive images can now
be comfortably dragged into the designated field
(image left). Alternatively, click on the field to
choose the image file. Important: the image file can
be at most 5 MB in size. Image formate and image
dimensions do not matter.
Once you have dropped in or selected your image
file, the image will open in an image editor which has
several image editing capabilities. You can move
your image, change its size, rotate and mirror it. On
the far right is the option "Preview" where you can
verify the adjusted image. Finally click on "Upload".
The locomotive image is now stored in the image
database with its file name.
A small green dialog will
inform you about the
success of the image
upload.
