Upgrading the Firmware
Your PC must be connected to the PROGRAM DB9 connector on the Controller or camera control
unit connector using a Programming Cable in order to upgrade the firmware.
If power is lost during the download process, the unit powers up with the same set of code it had
prior to the download. There is a small window during which a loss of power can be catastrophic. If
power is lost between the erase of flash memory and the completion of copying the new boot code
from RAM to flash memory, the unit will not operate at all when power returns.
If you have not already installed the SoftROM program, do so by following the steps contained on
the AMX Control Disc.
Upgrading the Firmware Using NetLinx Studio
Upgrading Firmware through a COM port
Before beginning with this section, verify that your 10.4" unit is powered and connected to the

Use this method if you can connect a DB9 cable
to the front PROGRAM port on the NetLinx Master
.
