The Upgrading Firmware Files instructions (below) apply equally to all types of firmware files. However, it is important that the
firmware files are upgraded in the following order:
Required Order of Firmware Updates for NI Controllers
1. First, upgrade the Master firmware.
2. When that process is complete, upgrade the Device firmware.
Required Order of Firmware Updates for DVX Controllers
1. First, upgrade the A/V Switcher/Scaler firmware.
2. When that process is complete, upgrade the Master firmware.
3. When that process is complete, upgrade the Device firmware.
Upgrading Firmware Files
NOTE: These steps assume that you have already established a connection with the target Central Controller (see the Initial
Configuration section on page 14 for details).
1. In NetLinx Studio. click on the OnLine Tree tab (in the Workspace Bar) to view the devices on the System.
2. In the OnLine Tree tab, click Display and select Refresh System from the context menu. This establishes a new connection to
the System and populates the device tree with devices on that system.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog indicates active communication between the PC and the Central Controller, verify
the Master and associated devices (including the Device Controller and A/V Switcher/Scaler for Enova DVX) are listed in the
OnLine Tree.
4. In NetLinx Studio, select To ols > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device (FIG. 27):
This opens the Send To NetLinx Device dialog.
5. Click the Browse button (...) to locate and select the firmware (*.kit) file that will be transferred, in the Browse for Folders
dialog (FIG. 28):
The selected file is indicated in the Files window.
6. Verify the target’s System number matches the value listed within the active System folder in the OnLine Tree.
The Device number is always 0 for the NI Master.
Note that the Port field is disabled (FIG. 29).
