Sending Firmware to The NXR-ZGW

Before beginning the Upgrade process

Set up and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to your particular NetLinx Master instruction manual for detailed setup procedures.

Prepare the communication on the NXR-ZGW for use. Refer to the Setting up a

Network section on page 13.

Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.4 or higher Help file for information on uploading firmware files via Ethernet.

If power or connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the file system may become corrupted.

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