Update by USB Stick

If you do not have a network connection available to update the CS3, you can also download an update to the
newest software version with the help of a USB sticks.
To do this, download the image file from the Märklin Website (http://www.
maerklin.de/de/service/downloads/cs3-updates/) and store it in the main
registry of a USB stick. After you have connected the USB stick to the CS3,
please be patient for about 10 to 15 seconds. The CS3 will recognize the
new software version on the USB stick automatically and will signal this
with a small red dot on the „System" icon.
The remaining steps are the same as for updating with the network. Please
use the description on Page 6 for this.
Regular Creation of Backups
The CS3 stores entries and adjustments continuously on its own within a few seconds.
Your data are therefore safe even in the event of a power outage or a hard reset. We do
recommend regular backups, also on USB sticks. For example, backups make it very easy to
reverse extensive changes by restoring an earlier editing status.

SD Card: Expanding the Internal Memory

With an SD card (SDHC), you can expand the
LinkS88
internal memory (4 GB) by up to 32 GB. All you
have to do is plug the card into the card slot.
You do not have to make any other settings.
Tip: Märklin recommends that SD cards not be
used as a removable disk but exclusively for
the purpose described here of expanding the
memory. It is better to use USB sticks to copy
data such as locomotive images onto the CS3.

Importing Locomotive Images Using the Web Browser

The CS3 comes with a variety of locomotive images that may satisfy the requirements in most cases of many
model railroaders. Moreover, you can also import your own locomotive images into the CS3's image database
(see Page 11). The easiest way is to use the Web interface on the CS3 that is called up by means of any Web
browser.
Important: The CS3 must be connected with the computer by means of a network router to do this.
You must first find out the IP address for your CS3 in order
to start the Web interface. To do this call up the CS3 system
settings (see Page 32) and there open the section „IP". In the
standard setting, the CS3 automatically receives an IP address
assigned to it from the router connected to it. This is shown in
the field „IP Address" (left image).
Now enter this IP, in our example „192.168.0.38", in the
address line of your Web browser and press the entry button:
The Märklin CS3 Web interface will appear on the screen (left
image).
Move the cursor across the button „Lokbilder" and click on
the option „Hochladen" that is turned on after that. You can
now drag and drop your locomotive image easily into the field
provided for it (left image). Alternatively click on the field in
order to select the image file.
Important: The file must be no larger than 5 MB in size. The
image format or the image size play no role here.
If you have moved the image into the field or have selected
your desired image, the image will be opened in an image
editor that offers numerous ways to edit the image. You can
move your subject, change the size, rotate, and flip or mirror
it. All the way to the right is the option „Preview" that you can
use to check the adjusted subject again. At the end click on
„Hochladen". The locomotive image is now stored under its
file name in the image database.
A small green colored overlay
lets you know that the locomo-
tive image has been success-
fully uploaded.
