Before You Begin - Upgrade the Firmware
1.Upload the latest
Note: Each panel should be updated using its associated
This new firmware file provides both backwards compatibility with the previous 802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.
Caution: If you don’t first update the firmware file on the panel, before proceeding with the card upgrade process, you will be required to configure NetLinx Studio to communicate with the target panel via a direct USB connection. In this communication scenario, your PC acts as a Virtual NetLinx Master establishing a secure USB connection to the target panel and then uploading the new Kit file.
