Control4 OS3

The update to OS3 has required the driver file type to change from .c4i to .c4z. Updating from the .c4i version to the .c4z version cannot be done through the Update Driver option in Composer. Instead, the new version must be loaded separately and all settings copied from the old version to the new version.

If the update to OS3 causes the Operational Mode to report as “Connecting…” follow these steps to remedy it:

  1. Ensure you are running driver v1.11 or later. v1.10 had corner cases where the driver would not properly reconnect after the switch or processor rebooted.
  2. Go to Connections –> Network. Disconnect the IP and re-enter the IP from the switching driver.
  3. Go to System Design and select the switching driver. Remove the license key, click Set, re-enter the license key, and click Set again.
  4. Reboot the Director if Steps 1-3 did not restore the Operational Mode to Licensed. This will restore the driver to a functional state.
