Upload Configuration File (Ccf); Loading A Crewcom Configuration File Via Usb - Pliant Crewcom CCU-22 Operating Manual

Upload Configuration File (CCF)

Each CrewCom system uses a configuration file (.ccf file extension) to direct the operation of all processes and data.
The CCF contains hardware device configuration, Conference and Profile settings, 2-wire port and 4-wire port
intercom settings, and all other CrewNet information for all connected CrewCom devices.
When CrewWare is connected to your system, toggling to "live" mode allows you to interact with the currently
uploaded CCF. Only one CCF may be active (live) on a given system. Some configuration updates may be made via
the front LCD of the Control Unit; however, more advanced customization and control requires the CrewWare
program. CCFs can be created or edited offline using CrewWare on your PC and then uploaded to the Master CU via
CrewWare or via a portable USB drive at the front USB port of the CU.

Loading a CrewCom Configuration File via USB

Follow the procedure below to load a new CrewCom Configuration File (CCF) to your system.
Important! Be sure you have saved a backup copy of your current configuration file prior loading a
new one, in case you need to revert to it for any reason. (See
page 51.)
Note: The CrewCom CU is currently compatible with FAT and FAT32 formatted USB drives (up to 16
GB drive size). Some operating systems (e.g., Windows 10) promote NTFS format, but only allow
FAT32 formatting up to 32 GB. For help with formatting larger USB drives, contact Pliant customer
support at +1.334.321.1160 (option 3 for Service and Support).
1. Make sure the Master Control Unit (CU) is powered on and has completed loading the current configuration
file, then plug the USB thumb drive into the front of the Master CU. An External USB Drive menu screen will
display on the CU LCD.
Caution: Loading or having a previously loaded CCF on any CU other than the Master CU will
cause a configuration malfunction. See
information on resolving this issue.
