Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio
Note: These steps assume that you have already established a connection with the target switcher (IP connection is
preferred.)
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. Selecting these options
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 switcher,
verify the switcher is listed in the OnLine Tree.
4. In NetLinx Studio, select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device (FIG. 38).
The Send to NetLinx Device dialog opens.
