Reboot the CP4/A touch panel by cycling power to the unit. This step completes the firmware

upgrade procedure.

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/D-CP4/A firmware TSK files.

Configuration

To configure the communication setting for the SoftROM program:

Press

to open the Configuration screen.
