Downloading the Latest Firmware Files from www.amx.com
NetLinx Controllers
Massio ControlPads require two f irmware (*.kit) f iles: Master firmware and Device firmware. The Master firmware file is not the
same as the Device firmware file.
Both files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Integrated Controllers.
NOTE: The process of downloading and transferring firmware f iles is the same for all types of f irmware. However, it is important that
the firmware f iles are upgraded in specific following order for Massio ControlPads (see the Required Order of Firmware Updates
section on page 30).
Master and Device Firmware Kit Files for Massio ControlPads
Below is a table outlining the Master and Device Firmware (*.kit) files used by Massio ControlPads:
NOTE: The HTTP firmware kit enables you to upgrade firmware via an HTTP server. Follow the same steps in NetLinx Studio as you
would with a typical firmware upgrade. Upgrading firmware via HTTP server is typically much faster than upgrading with the standard
firmware kit files. See the Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio section on page 31 for more information.
