Upgrading The Firmware

AXP-PLV PosiTrack Pilot Video Camera Controller
Upgrading The Firmware
Your PC must be connected to the PROGRAM DB-9 connector on the Central Controller using a
Programming Cable in order to upgrade the firmware in the panel. Verify the connection of an
AXlink connector cable from the Controller to the unit (using the mini-XLR).
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.
PosiTrack Pilot FG to TSK file relation
There have been four (4) versions of the PosiPilot released over the past few years. Each one has a
specific FG number assigned as part of the Serial label located on the underside of each unit.
To locate and read the label:
1.
Carefully flip the entire unit over and place the LCD onto a soft cloth. This prevent scratching.
2.
Locate the Serial number on the underside label as seen in FIG. 15 below.
3.
Identify the FG number of the particular AXP-PLV. This is done by using the first few numbers
of the Serial number.
Do not depend on the presence of an FG number sticker (as shown
above).
Refer to the example in FIG. 15 to help identify the product FG number.
4.
Once the FG number has been identified; use one of the following associated TSK files to
upgrade your units’ firmware. These TSK files can be found on the secure portion of the
AMX.com website. Go to
