Firmware can also be downloaded to accessory items via a direct USB connection using the PC as a Virtual Master (Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port section on page 121). In this case, you will still need to know the System and Device Number information of the target panel. For a more detailed description of how to setup this type of connection, refer to the Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master section on page 95.

Step 1: Prepare the NXA-BASE/B for firmware transfer

Before beginning with this section:

Unplug any connectors from the rear of the NXT panel (power, Ethernet, etc.).

Refer to the Installing the NXA-BASE/B to an NXT Modero Panel section on page 46 for installation procedures to mount the NXT atop the battery base.

DO NOT PLACE BATTERIES IN THE BASE BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE NXT PANEL. Insert batteries into the NXA-BASE/BONLY AFTER the base has been

installed onto the bottom of the NXT panel.

Having batteries in the base before connection can damage the battery base.

Verify your NXA-BASE/B is securely attached to the bottom of the NXT panel.

Once the base is secured, side out the battery compartment and install the batteries into the battery base. Once the batteries are installed, close the compartment.

Reconnect all rear connectors to the NXT panel.
