Hi Eric,

not at all.

Now for example you can make screenshots either by connecting the CS2 to the internet rooter or by connecting the CS2 with a crossover cable to your network card.

Not to mention functionmapping.
You can also save your decoder adjustments to a file.

Best regards
DRG

No, nothing's changed in my home network since the last update!
I certainly haven't connected the CS2 to another network (I've hardly used it at all, actually)
I really don't know where it got the idea to be 192.168.1.x

Hi!

Can anyone point me the link of the files to update my cs2 through USB?

Many thanks

Thanks!!

Please can you tell me when the latest update comes out in USB form for the CS2/ 60213 can I upgrade straight to that or do I have go through all the upgrades. My HW is 3.1 and my SW is 1.0.2 [1] As I have never done a upgrade could someone tell me were and how I go about doing it.

Thanks Charles.

Charles, just keep an eye on this link to the software update. Hopefully the new version should be there soon.

Hello.

This is not 1.4.0 USB version is it. Or am I loosing the plot.

Charles.

Hi Charles. The USB update is not yet available despite the above. Will let you know when I do mine.

Updated sucessful to 1.35 from 1.28.

Hello,

just connect your CS2 to the net and press the update button.

The USB update will be online later on.

Thanks Stephan, after going away and thinking about it, I thought this would be the thing to do.

So, last night I successfully updated to GFP 1.35

yes, it’s also including a update for MS2 with version 1.5, anyone who knows what this update change or fix?

You could try again but first ensure your USB stick has the correct update by again downloading from the site.
Make sure you hit the USB button on the screen and also the update button when asked.

Julio,

The USB stick cannot have any other files or folders on it besides the most recent update file. Delete all folders and files, download the current update and try again.


Regards,

Thomas

Thanks Thomas and Tom:
I will try again.
I used an USB with other files, that I will delete.
Also I am going to try the update before unzipping the download file. We will see what happens.
Julio

Interesting that you say this. My CS2 with update 1.4.0 and GFP 1.35 only updates my MS2 to v1.4.

Is there something extra in the USB update that is not in the Internet update?

Julio,

These steps are from the Marklin Digital Club Newsletter.

Regards,

Thomas

cs2update.tgz




(Note - use a slim width USB stick, a wide USB stick may not seat properly or completely into the CS2 USB port. Avoid a USB stick with U3 software or password / security features. The downloaded update file must be in the root folder of the USB stick. There cannot be any other CS2 updates in the root folder)(This is simply technique but consider removing the track power from the CS2 during the upgrade, also perhaps any booster to avoid problems?)

1. Insert a USB memory stick in the USB socket on the computer.
2. Connect to one of the download web sites.
3. Right click on each of the two files listed above and store them on the USB stick. This process will unzip each of the files.
4.Correctly eject the USB stick from the computer.
5 Connect the Central Station to a transformer and start the Central Station.
6. Insert the USB stick into the USB socket in the back of the Central Station.
7. Choose the “Setup” menu.
8. Press the word “Update program” (if “Update program” does not appear on the screen, select the “CS” menu on the bottom of the blue screen. After pressing the word " Update program", in the screen must be read first the word "loading", next comes "updating").
9. If the program asks for a confirmation press the green check mark.
10. Wait until the program has finished up loading. It may take a few minutes.
11. Select the “Setup” menu.
12. Select the “Version” option.
13. You should see the new version number on the screen.


14. If you do not see the new version number:
15. Select the “CS” menu.
16. Select “restart”.
17 Wait until the Central Station has restarted.
18. Remove and re-insert the USB stick.
19. Repeat steps 7-13 above.
20. If the update does not work, erase the USB stick and repeat the entire process


After the installation is complete, select “restart Station” from the “Setup” menu.


CAUTION: Be sure the memory stick is clear of any software updates for the Station. Some people have accidentally left updates for earlier software versions on the memory stick and it has caused the system to freeze. When this happens you are locked out and cannot call up any menus to correct it. There is a solution if this happens to you. On the German web site, www. Maerklin.de, in the FAQ link, there are two programs that can be downloaded to the USB stick and inserted to restart the Station.

Hello.

First of all I am on a MAC. I am completely lost on this What is a root folder never heard of that one and how do I unzip the up date. Last night I down loaded the CS2 usb up date from the Marklin site and I have it on the desk top.Do I need CS2.tgz instead.

Charles.

My USB stick has letter H and yours can have something else, put the file directly under the root when open USB stick drive.

I am on my forth attempt and still no luck. I have the down load on the desk top and have dropped it on the stick icon and that shows up the same as the D/L I the put the stick in the cs and that is not easy as the stick hard up to the cs body and a job to get in .I then go to set up press the USB icon and then update. The stick does not flash rapid when the data is moving over and when it tells me I have been unsuccessful and I press the green tick the internal icon is black not the usb. Can I bring the CS down to the computer plug it into the mains with the TRANS and take the modem cable out of the computer and put it in the CS and just press update. I know computer can be a pain in the bum but as far as I am concerned if something does not work first time it is no good to you. Lets face it is 2010 if you think what APPOLO had in computer power and that worked first time.

Charles PS sorry for the rant.

Hello:
Good news. Finally I succeed in the update attempt.
After reading Charles post that described the difficulties in connecting the USB stick to the Central Station,that may have produced a incomplete contact I tried again wih a very narrower USB stick. And it worked¡.
By the way, I think that the USB port is not well designed, leaving no spaces to connect some types of USB sticks.
Also, I will like to thank Thomas ( El Capitan), for his detailed post, that helped me to follow step by step the procedure.
And for Charles , the last tip: after pressing the word " Update program", in the screen must be read first the word "loading", next comes "updating". In my previous unsuccessful attempts, the screen started with the word "updating", confusing me.

Hello Matthew.


I will give that a go tomorrow with a bit of luck. I think my problem is the USB stick is too wide and is not going in far enough. I have not been promoted to tick the green tick to go on.As all my USB sticks are the same I will keep one just for the CS2 and I will cut the corner off the plastic body so it will go fully in.
Many thanks to all of you for your help.

I do have one question to ask. Has anyone had any problems after they have done the update. As I am at the moment the last thing I want to do is to go backwards. I have had a good week so far with putting some extra feeder wires in on the lower level and alpine level.

Charles.

Hi Charles. I am pretty hopless with computers but have not had any problems with the Marklin update. My USB stick fits fine and it is just a matter of ticking all the right boxes after that.
I have no idea what the update is or what it has given me as a benefit and I expect Marklin will not tell us (unless written in German somewhere I cant find it)
Maxi has given you great information which if you fllow should be OK.
Glad the feeders are working for you.

dave.

Hello Nev:
My answer to Thomas was polite: he wrote in spanish, I answered in the same language.
But I understand your position.
So here is the translation:
"Hello Thomas:
