Management Suite supports our legacy '''USB connected''' carillon systems using a PC.


The latest version of our software is available on the downloads web page: [http://www.chimemaster.com/downloads Downloads, Service and Support]
Our latest '''[[Advanced_eXperience|touchscreen ringing systems]]''' connect directly to your network for management over the Internet using the '''[https://chime.center Chime.Center]''' web portal.


== Installing ==
We plan to introduce a Chime.Center adapter for USB equipped systems in 2023. This adapter will plug in between the carillon's USB port and your wired Ethernet Network. Features will include:
* Remote control from your SmartPhone
* Schedule management from any Internet connected web browser


Do not connect the Chime Master unit to your PC with the USB cable until the software has been installed. This will allow device drivers to be properly registered for your system.


If you currently use Millennium Suite version 4.8 or older, uninstall it using the Windows Add/Remove utility. Your schedule and playlist files will not be deleted.
