Basic Configuration

Managing Firmware

You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server. By saving runtime code to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore operation. You can set the switch to use new firmware without overwriting the previous version.

The switch also allows a runtime code file to be copied to or from another switch unit in the stack.

Command Attributes

Command Attributes

• File Transfer Method:

The firmware copy operation includes these options:

 

• file to file - Copies a file within the switch directory, assigning it a new name.

 

• file to tftp - Copies a file from the switch to a TFTP server.

 

• ftp to file - Copies a file from a TFTP server to the switch.

 

• file to unit - Copies a file from this switch to another unit in the stack.

 

• unit to file - Copies a file from another unit in the stack to this switch.

 

 

• TFTP Server IP Address:

The IP address of a TFTP server.

 

 

• File Name:

The file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file

 

name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the

 

TFTP server is 127 characters or 31 characters for files on the switch.

 

Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”

 

 

• Source/Destination Unit:

Specifies the switch stack unit number.

 

 

• File Type:

Allows you to specify either an operational code file (opcode), or a

 

configuration file (config).

 

 

Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime firmware) can be stored in the file directory on the switch. The currently designated startup version of this file cannot be deleted.

Downloading System Software from a Server - Web

When downloading runtime code, you can specify the Destination File Name to replace the current image, or first download the file using a different name from the current runtime code file, and then set the new file as the startup file.

Click System, File, Copy. Select “tftp to file” from the drop-down menu. Select “opcode” as the file type, then enter the IP address of the TFTP server and the source and destination file names. Click Apply.

FIG. 14 Operation Code Image File Transfer

If you download to a new destination file, select the file from the drop-down box for the operation code used at startup, and click Apply. To start the new firmware, reboot the system via the System/Reset menu.

NXA-ENET24 specifications

The AMX NXA-ENET24 is a versatile and powerful networked control interface designed to meet the growing demands of modern AV systems. This network switch offers an exceptional combination of reliability, performance, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for professional environments such as conference rooms, educational facilities, and control rooms.

One of the key features of the NXA-ENET24 is its 24-port configuration, allowing for extensive connectivity options. Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring that high bandwidth applications are handled with ease. Additionally, the switch incorporates advanced auto-negotiation technology, which automatically configures the optimal speed and duplex mode for connected devices. This ensures seamless connectivity and minimizes the risk of network disruptions.

The NXA-ENET24 is designed with advanced management capabilities, including support for VLANs, which helps to segment network traffic for enhanced security and performance. Network administrators can easily create virtual local area networks to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where multiple AV systems operate concurrently.

Another significant characteristic of the NXA-ENET24 is its support for Power over Ethernet, or PoE. This feature enables the switch to deliver electrical power alongside data through the network cables. As a result, devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points can be powered directly from the switch, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for additional power sources.

Monitoring and management of the switch are made easier through a user-friendly interface. The NXA-ENET24 supports SNMP for network management, allowing users to monitor performance metrics, configure settings, and receive alerts in case of issues. This level of oversight is crucial for maintaining the stability of AV systems in mission-critical applications.

Durability is another hallmark of the NXA-ENET24 design. The switch features a robust chassis that is engineered to withstand the rigors of professional use. With cooling mechanisms in place and a fanless design, the NXA-ENET24 operates quietly and efficiently, making it suitable for environments where noise is a concern.

In conclusion, the AMX NXA-ENET24 is a powerful, reliable, and feature-rich network switch that effectively supports modern AV applications. With its extensive connectivity options, advanced management capabilities, PoE support, and durable design, it is an excellent choice for integrators and organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure.
