Upgrading Accessory Devices via an IP Address

The following accessory devices are firmware upgradeable:

NXA-BASE/B Battery Base (FG2255-10)

This device is not given a unique device number which would ordinarily appear within the Online Tree tab of NetLinx Studio. It appears below the target panel which it is a part of as seen in FIG. 78 on page 86.

The only way to upgrade the firmware of an accessory item is to send the accessory’s firmware through a target panel. Its this panel’s device number which is entered within the Send to NetLinx Device transfer dialog in Studio.

Firmware can also be downloaded to accessory items via a direct USB connection using the PC as a Virtual Master. 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 Upgrading Accessory Devices via the USB section on page 86.

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

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 27 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.
