Communication and Firmware Update

4.If the firmware version is not build 139 (v2_XX_139) for the NXC-ME260; locate the latest firmware file from www.amx.com > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Firmware Files > NetLinx Masters.

5.Verify you have downloaded the latest Master firmware (KIT) file to a known location.

6.Select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu to open the Send to NetLinx Device dialog (FIG. 24). Verify the target’s System number matches the value listed within the active System folder in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace.

7.Select the Master’s KIT file from the Files section (FIG. 24).

The KIT file for the ME260 begins with 2010_kit (the KIT file for the NI-Series of

Master controllers begins with 2105_NI Master).

8.Enter the System number associated with the target Master (listed in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window). The Device and Port fields are greyed-out.

9.Click the Reboot Device checkbox to reboot the Master after the firmware update process is complete.

10.Click Send to begin the transfer. The file transfer progress is indicated on the bottom-right of the dialog (FIG. 24).

Only upon the initial installation of the new build 139 KIT file to a Master there will be a failure of the last component to successfully download. This is part of the initial update procedure and will not occur during uploads of later firmware.

11.After the last components fails to install, click Close and reboot the Master by selecting Tools > Reboot the Master Controller > Continue to begin the process.
