CircuitWerkes Support (PDF manuals and software)

Manuals have a funny way of walking away just when you need 'em, so this way you always have our information available to you. The books are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. 

This page contains links to current production product manuals and software. If you have an older CircuitWerkes product, you can find out-of-production items here .

The following products are in current production:

  • CP-2 - stand alone call progress decoder for disconnecting any device auto-answer device or 1A2 key set from a phone line or PBX

                        CircuitWerkes assumes no liability for bugs,
                        though we would like to hear from you if you find one. You must have
                        firmware version 7.00 or higher (released May, 2008) to use the software.
                        If you have version 5 or 6 firmware, please contact us. If your version is
                        lower than 5, there is no software support, but you can contact us about
                        an inexpensive upgrade for your DT-232 that will bring it up to date.

                        If you get an "invalid setup package" or "setup files corrupt" message when
                        installing the software, it means that your web browser didn't completely
                        download the software. Try right clicking on the link instead of left clciking
                        and then choose the "Save As" option. Depending upon the web browser,
                        you might have to try the download a couple of times. Be sure that the
                        downloaded file is 1.8 (or more) megabytes.

  • CircuitWerkes Net Scanner- Windows GUI to find CircuitWerkes Web enabled devices on your network. Will show all pings on your LAN, reports CircuitWerkes devices by name.  Name reporting only works with CircuitWerkes devices shipped after 9-1-09.  You might need to run it two or three times in a row to find everything on your system. It may miss some devices on the first pass.  There is also a new feature called "scan"  If your Webserver firmware is 1.75 for SentryX or 1.08 for the Sicon-8, the scan function is usually faster and more robust than the normal "ping" mode. Scan is very fast and only detects CircuitWerkes devices. Scan may also detect some CircuitWerkes devices on other IP address ranges.   Ping detects all ping-able devices within the specified address range, but is slower.   Windows 7, 8 and 10 users should install the software as the administrator.  Also, when running the software should run it as the administrator.

  • pREX - programmable relay expander
                 
    Configuration Manager - Windows GUI to control and configure pREX.
                  This requires installation of Microsoft's .net version 1.1 framework that can be

                 
    found here.  Even if you have a different or newer version of .net installed,

                 
    version 1.1 is required. Install the .net framework before the pREX software.

                  After downloading the .zip file, open it and drag the contents to a new folder and

                 
    install (run setup.exe) from the new folder.
     


    A different version of the software can be found here.  In all Windows versions above XP,
     
    right click on the installer exe and run it as the administrator. 
    This version does not require the .net framework, but not every function is enabled.
    After installing the software, if you receive a MSCOMCTL missing error,
     
    you also need the Visual Basic run time library available from MicroSoft.
