Appendix A – Upgrading the Firmware
Overview
The NetLinx Studio software application (available for free download from www.amx.com) provides the ability to
transfer KIT files to NetLinx devices such as DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers. The firmware on the
Transmitters and Receiver can be upgraded in the field.
When a Transmitter and/or a Receiver are being used in conjunction with a switcher, the switcher’s integrated Master is
used for the KIT file transfer. FIG. 32 shows a Transmitter and a Receiver bound to the integrated Master in an Enova
DGX 16 in NetLinx Studio’s OnLine Tree. Follow the instructions on the top of page 101 to prepare for KIT file transfer
and the instructions on page 103 for the actual transfer.
