To Upgrade the Firmware

2.When finished, click Submit to begin the process of uploading and incorporating the new firmware. At this point, the UI expands to display a message indicating the progress of the firmware upload.

If you attempt to move to a different page within the browser-based UI without saving any changes made, the UI will ask "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Changes have not been saved and will be lost." Click OK to continue with moving to a different page, and click Cancel to stay on the current page.

If the Upload process timer is interrupted with a Timeout error message, wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the unit time to complete the upload process. It is recommended that you then use NetLinx Studio to both confirm the online status of the MAX unit and see if the firmware version has properly updated.

Even if the screen goes blank, allow the unit time to complete the upload process. The blank screen may be a result of your browser having temporarily lost it’s connection with the MAX unit.

If the unit does not appear in the Online Tree, a manual reboot (cycling power) is recommended, after which Studio can then be used to detect the MAX unit and upload the firmware.
