NetLinx Integrated Controllers (Firmware v4)- WebConsole & Programming Guide
NOTE: If the control card firmware is not up to date; download the latest firmware f ile from www.amx.com > Tech Center >
Downloadable Files > Firmware Files > NXC-XXX. In this example, the NXC-VOL card contains out-of-date firmware and requires
build 1.00.09.
5. If the NXC card firmware being used is not current, download the firmware file by f irst logging in to www.amx.com and then
navigate to Tec h C en t e r > Firmware Files and from within the NetLinx section of the web page locate the NXC card entries.
6. Click on the desired Kit file link and after you’ve accepted the Licensing Agreement, verify you have downloaded the NetLinx
NXC card firmware (Kit) file to a known location.

8. Select Too ls > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu to open the Send to NetLinx Device dialog
(FIG. 31). Verify the target’s Device and System numbers matches the value listed within the System folder in the Workspace

card).

00003 is the same as a value of 3.
