Bosch CM910 Direct Link & Flash Programming USB Cable
The Bosch CM910 is the installer's USB cable for Bosch Solution panels: a combined direct link and flash programmer that connects a Windows PC to the panel's 10 way serial header for on-site Solution Link programming sessions or firmware updates, with a select switch to choose between the two.
What you get
- 1 × CM910B direct link and flash programmer with a 10 way flying lead to the panel serial port header and a 5 metre USB cable
You'll also need
- A supported panel: Solution 16i, Solution 16Plus, Solution 64, Solution 144 or Solution 6000, sold here as the CC610P board
- A Windows PC with Solution Link software and the USB driver from the Solution Link RAS DVD or alarmsoftware.com.au
- The correct firmware file for the panel when flashing, and a Solution Link backup taken first
- For a panel with a lost installer code, the CM255B default key rather than this cable

§ 01Overview
What the CM910 is
The Bosch CM910 does two installer jobs with one lead. In Direct Link mode it carries a Solution Link RAS session, so a panel is programmed from a laptop on site instead of key by key at the code pad. In Flash Update mode it loads new control panel firmware. A switch on the module selects the mode, and the 5 metre USB cable reaches a panel mounted in a roof space or the back of a cupboard.
It is sold as the CM910, and the Bosch datasheet names the same module the CM910B. It supports the Solution 16i, Solution 16Plus, Solution 64, Solution 144 and Solution 6000, and the same panels plus the CM705B universal expander can be firmware updated through it. The module takes its power from the computer's USB port, so nothing else is wired in.
Software is where installers get stuck. The USB driver sits in the CM903 USB to Serial Converter Driver folder on the Solution Link RAS DVD, or downloads from alarmsoftware.com.au, and the flash update program only works on COM ports 1 to 4, so the port assigned in Windows Device Manager may need to be changed before flashing starts.
Two cautions apply on a Solution 6000. A firmware update may perform a complete system default at the end of the process, so the panel is backed up in Solution Link first, and firmware V2.53.19 only suits panels with serial numbers larger than 240000; a lower-numbered board will not run it.
The cable does not reset a lost installer code. That job belongs to the single-use CM255B default key, which unlocks both the installer PIN and the RAS security PIN on a Solution 6000. The programmer is rated for 0 to 55 °C and carries a 3 years return-to-base warranty from the date of manufacture.
