AMX NXD-500i manual Upgrading the Firmware via the USB port

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Before beginning the Upgrade process:

Set up and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master Instruction Manual for detailed setup procedures.

Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the panel for use. Refer to the Panel

Calibration section on page 21.

Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Help file for more information on uploading files.

Configure the panel for a direct connection. Refer to the Configuring Communication section on page 23 for more information.

The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit files to a NetLinx Master, except the target device is a panel instead of a Master. Refer to either the Master’s User Manual or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.

A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.

Upgrading the Firmware via the USB port

Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is

securely inserted into the PC’s USB port. The panel must be powered on before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel.

Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel prior to installing the latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB driver installation.

This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 application installations.

Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type

1.After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port and restart your machine.

2.After the NXD-500i panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button for 4 seconds to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

3.Select Protected Setup > System Settings, located on the lower-left, to open the System Settings page.

4.Toggle the blue Type field in the Master Connection section until the choice cycles to USB.

ALL fields are now greyed out and read-only, but they still display any previously shown network information.

5.Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
