5.0 Using FreeSpace
®
 4400 Installer™ Software
5.2.1 No hardware detected
If after launching the FreeSpace 4400 Installer™ software a hard-
ware device is not found, the status window reports a failure to 
detect connected hardware:
In this case, clicking the Close button results in a blank hardware 
setup window.
Programmer’s Note: If you are not connected to the 
FreeSpace 4400 system, you can see an example of the 
FreeSpace 4400 front panel by opening the sample 
design file provided on the FreeSpace 4400 Installer CD. 
See “Sample design files” on page 26.
Programmer’s Note: To configure a FreeSpace 4400 
system, the FreeSpace 4400 system must be powered 
up. DO NOT switch the FreeSpace 4400 system to 
STANDBY mode while the FreeSpace 4400 Installer 
 
software is running.
Programmer’s Note: The FreeSpace 4400 Installer 
software does not notify you if there is a loss of communi-
cation between the FreeSpace 4400 system and your 
PC.
 
5.2.2 Incompatible microcontroller code
If the FreeSpace
®
 4400 Installer™ software finds that your system 
is running an older version of firmware (microcontroller code), the 
following window appears, giving you the opportunity to upgrade 
the code.
• Click Upgrade to upload the latest version of microcontroller 
code to the device. When the "Upload Complete" window 
appears, click Close. Then, finish the installation and configure 
your hardware device.
Programmer’s Note: Upgrading new software does 
not change any of your current configuration settings. 
When the upgrade is finished, your current configuration 
will be restored.
• Click Cancel to exit the software and leave the device 
untouched. 
Programmer’s Note: The FreeSpace 4400 Business 
Music System is only compatible with the FreeSpace 4400 
Installer software.  The FreeSpace 4400 system is incom-
patible with the FreeSpace E4 system's FreeSpace Installer 
software.  Additionally, the FreeSpace E4 system is incom-
patible with the FreeSpace 4400 Installer software.
5.2.3 Sample design files
Two sample design files are included with your FreeSpace
®
 4400 
Installer™ software:
• sample70V.fsi – for 70V FreeSpace 4400 systems
• sample100V.fsi – for 100V FreeSpace 4400 systems
They can be used to display a FreeSpace 4400 front panel when 
your PC is not connected to a system hardware device.
To open the sample design file:
1.
Click the Open file tool in the FreeSpace 4400 Installer 
 
software window.
2.
Select the name of the sample design file in your 
 
FreeSpace 4400 Installer software directory: 
 
C:\Program Files\FreeSpace 4400 Installer 1.0.0.
3.
Click the Open button in the dialog box.
4.
Click on the “Bose FreeSpace 4400” system name in the 
System Overview pane. The FreeSpace 4400 front panel will 
appear in the application window.
Programmer’s Note: If you are not connected to the 
FreeSpace 4400 system when you open a design file, all 
controls within the software are grayed out and not 
accessible.
