8.Select the NI Master’s Kit file from the Files section (FIG. 27).

The Kit file for the NI-2100/3100/3101-SIG/4100 Series of NI Masters begins with 2105_04_NI-X100_Master.

DO NOT use any Master Kit file other than the one specified, since each Master

Kit file is specifically configured to function on a specific NI unit.

9.Enter the System number associated with the target Master (listed in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window) and verify the Device number value. The Port field is greyed-out.

The Device number is always 0 for the NI Master.

10.Click the Reboot Device checkbox to reboot the NI unit after the firmware update process is complete.

11.Click Send to begin the transfer. The file transfer progress is indicated on the bottom right of the dialog box (FIG. 27).

Only upon the initial installation of a new Kit file to an on-board Master will there be a error message displayed indicating a failure of the last component to successfully download. This is part of the NI Master update procedure and requires that the firmware be reloaded after a reboot of the unit. This consecutive process installs the final component of the new Kit file.

12.After the last component fails to install, click Done.

13.Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.
