Importing CS2 Data
Importing Existing Data from the Central Station 2
Have you already been controlling your layout with the Central Station 2? Then you can take the valuable
locomotive, solenoid item, and track data from there in a few steps and put it into the Central Station 3.
All you require for this is a USB stick with the backup of your CS2 data. Important: As the first step, plug
the USB stick into one of the two USB data sockets on the back of the CS3.
Tap in the upper left corner on the „System" button
(upper image) on the start screen for the CS3.
Tap below left on „System" (right image) in the
system overview.
Now the CS3 will ask whether you are really sure
you want to do this. Confirm by tapping with your
finger on the check mark.
Note: Extensive information about creating a backup for your CS2 data can be found in the operating
instructions for your CS2.
This will take you directly into the
system settings for the CS3. There
tap on the button „Restore".
In the file selection dialog, tap on „USB" and on
the directory containing the CS2 backup. Select
the backup and confirm with „Ok". After a few
moments, you will receive the start screen for
the CS3.
Updating the CS3
This way you are always up-to-date: Updating the CS3 Software
Märklin continues to develop the operating software for the CS3. As soon as a newer version is available, a
small red dot at the foot of the „System" symbol on the CS3 start screen is the signal that this newer version
is available. Tip: If a connection from your CS3 to the Internet is not possible, you can do updates by means
of a USB stick (see Page 35).
Tap on the „System" symbol in order to update
the firmware. The red dot guides you through the
system settings. Tap on the symbols next to the
red dot.
Now the CS3 will ask whether you really want to do
the update. Confirm by tapping on the check mark.
Now detail information will appear about the update –
confirm in the upper right by tapping with your finger
on „Start". After that, the CS3 will carry out the up-
date. At the end, confirm in the upper right with „Ok".
The green check mark in the system settings will
signal that the CS3 is using the newest operating
software (right image).
First in the system overview (upper image), then in
the system settings (left image). Both possibilities
there will lead you to the destination: to the update
button (lower image) that you activate with the tap
of your finger.
