3.6.1 General Requirements & Tips
•Make sure the USB drive is FAT32 formatted.
•USB drive sizes up to 32GB are recommended.
•Most USB brands have been verified up to 32GB in size, including Strontium, Sandisk, Toshiba, Verbatim,
Kingston, Samsung, Apacer etc.
•For USB drives 64GB and above only a limited number of devices from Kingston have been verified for
operation.
•It is best, but not necessary, to use an empty USB drive for these operations.

2. Press the USB button for 5sec or until the Power LED flashes RED.
3. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid green before removing it. This should take less than 20sec. Once done, it
will create/update 4 files:
a) *.zcf - The configuration file read from the network
b) *.csv - A spreadsheet listing information about the system and modules connected to the network
c) CZone.bak - A backup copy of the configuration file. This needs to be present when writing updated
configuration back to the network
d) CZone USB Result.txt – A text file describing the result of the last operation performed, as well as these
instructions
3.6.3 Writing Configuration To Network
To write the system configuration from the USB to the network you must:
1. Insert a USB drive into the RV1. The following files must present in the root folder:
a) CZone.bak - This config file backup must match the existing system config before a config update can
occur. This file is generated by copying the existing configuration to the USB as above.
b) *.zcf - A single configuration file to be written to the network. If more than one file is present no update will
occur.
c) No firmware update files (*.czfwp).
2. Press the USB button for 5sec or until the Power LED flashes RED.
3. After several seconds, the Power LED will flash Green.
4. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid green before removing it. This should take less than 20sec.
5. Once the system configuration has been updated the following files will be created/updated:
a) *.csv - A basic spreadsheet listing information about the system and modules connected to the network.
b) CZone USB Result.txt - A text file describing the result of the last operation performed, as well as these
instructions.
3.6.4 Updating Device Firmware

1. Insert a USB drive with the following files in the root folder: The following files must be present in the root
folder:
a) *.czfwp - A single CZone firmware update file to be used to update devices in the system.
b) No configuration files (*.zcf).
2. Press the USB button for 5sec or until the Power LED flashes RED.
3. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid green before removing it, this operation can take 10-40minutes
depending on the number of different module types in the system.
4. Once the firmware has been updated the following files will be created/updated:
a) *.csv - A basic spreadsheet listing information about the system and modules connected to the network.
b) CZone USB Result.txt - A text file describing the result of the last operation performed, as well as these
