Upgrading the Firmware Using SoftROM
Your PC must be connected to the PROGRAM DB9 connector on the Axcess Controller using a
Programming Cable in order to upgrade the firmware in the panel.
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 logging into the AMX.com
site and going to
Dealers > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Firmware Files
. Scroll-down
the list of products to find the AXT-CA10, AXT-CV10, AXT-CG10 firmware TSK files.
Canceling the firmware download in mid-progress can damage the on-board
firmware.
