How do I create an SD card for the COMpact 4000 / COMpact 5000 / COMmander 6000 PBX operating system?

Creating an SD card for the Auerswald PBX operating system from an SD card image in Windows
 

  1. Connect an SDHC card reader to your PC. Wait for the driver to be installed.
  2. Have a 4 GB SDHC card ready. We expressly recommend using a new SDHC card to avoid any hardware problems with the existing card. The card should be a high-quality card for industrial use. We recommend the following brands for this:
    Swissbit, Transcend, Cactus, Apro, Delkin Industrial, ATP
  3. Upload the relevant Auerswald image file to your PC as a ZIP file.
