The CCS-XB module works together with either the Adder CCS4-USB or CCS-PRO4 switches to provide LED
indicators for each of your video display screens. As the switch activates a screen, the CCS-XB module activates
the corresponding indicator (which can be attached to the screen) to provide extra clarity for the operator.
Checking the firmware version (CCS4-USB switches only)
When using the CCS-XB module with a CCS4-USB switch, it is important that the switch has rmware version
2.0 (or greater) installed. If in doubt you can check the rmware version of your CCS4-USB switch as follows:
1 With your CCS4-USB switch powered on and with a USB keyboard attached, press and hold the
COMPUTER button for roughly six seconds until the display shows C.
2 On the connected keyboard, press Ffollowed by 1 and then press Enter. The digits of the rmware
version will be shown in sequence with a short pause between each. For instance,1> 0> 2means that
the rmware version is 1.02 and requires an upgrade.
3 Press Eand then press Enter to return the CCS4-USB to normal operation.
If your CCS4-USB switch does require a rmware upgrade, please refer to the Performing upgrades
section of the CCS4-USB user guide.

Connection
overview
Steps to a successful installation
1 Use the supplied VSC46 CATx link cable (A) to connect the CCS-XB unit to the OPTIONS port of your CCS4-USB or CCS-PRO4 switch.
2 The next step depends on your switch type:
• CCS-PRO4 - Use a standard patch cable (B) to connect the network port of your CCS-PRO4 to the network port of your computer (either directly or
via a network switch - further information available in the CCS-PRO4 user guide), or
• CCS4-USB - Use the VSC40 ash upgrade cable (C) (supplied with your switch) to connect the CCS-XB module to the serial port of your computer.
3 Connect the supplied LED monitor indicators (D) to the rst four LED output ports on the CCS-XB module.
4 If your switch is not already powered on, apply power to it now. CCS4-USB switches need to be re-powered whenever a CCS-XB unit is re-attached;
this prompts them to locate the CCS-XB unit. CCS-PRO4 switches can sense a newly attached CCS-XB unit without the need for re-powering.
5 Download and run the Free-Flow conguration application from the Adder website (www.adder.com) and follow the instructions given in the latest
version of your CCS4-USB or CCS-PRO4 user guide (also available from the Adder website). The section ‘Conguring LED monitor indicators’ will show
you how to assign an indicator to each display.
Note: Once the LED monitor indicators have been programmed, you can remove the VSC40 flash cable or network patch cable connections as these
are not required for operation. You will need to reconnect them, however, if you alter the LED assignments.
