Getting Started

This documentation is for new users of CommandFusion hardware. It will serve as a guide to getting started with your hardware out of the box.

A System Commander Quick Start Guide is available in both video and text format here.

First Steps

After you have unboxed your gear, the first step is to power it up and update the firmware.

To power up your gear, power needs to be provided on the CFLink bus. See the documentation for more details on the CFLink bus.

The bus will carry power to all connected devices. We offer a power supply in our store, however any 24V DC power supply suffice. A regulated power supply is recommended, but all devices will run on 9-30V DC range, so any power supply within those ratings should operate correctly (depending on your cable distances).

For more details on updating firmware, please see the Updating Firmware documentation.

Configuration

Once the hardware has been updated to the latest firmware, you can use the System Commander software to configure the devices properties as required, send test commands, and program rules and scheduling.

System Commander can discover and configure devices over Ethernet (if you are using a LAN Bridge) or RS232 for any device with an on-board RS232 port.

Download System Commander Here.

For instructions on how to get started with System Commander, see our System Commander Quick Start Guide.
