3. Under Settings > Reprogram, click Select upgrade file to select the firmware file to program.
After the file load is completed, the DXM700 restarts and loads the new firmware file. It takes about 2 minutes to complete
the programming process. The device reboots when finished. Verify the firmware has been updated, under Settings >
General > Device Information.
11.3 Clear the Password on DXM700-Bx, DXM1000-Bx, or DXM1200-
Bx Models
By default, the DXM Controllers do not require a password to load a configuration file. If a password is defined, the password
must be entered before uploading a configuration file.
To change the password, you must already know the current password. If you do not know the current password, follow
these steps to clear the password.
Important: Clearing the password erases the current configuration and any program files, log files, or
history files.
1. Turn on the power to the DXM Controller.
2. Set DIP switch 4 to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the processor button until processor board LED flashes.
4. Set DIP switch 4 to the OFF position.
5. Cycle power to the DXM Controller.
6. Reload the configuration file before resuming normal operation.
