Configuration and Firmware Update
This section refers to steps necessary to both communicate and upgrade the components for both a
MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 unit.
Before You Begin
1.
Setup and configure your MAX unit.
2.
Complete the procedures in the previous
Configuring the MAX Communication Parameters
section
on page 50 to establish a valid connection between the MAX unit and the web.
3.
Complete the procedures in the previous
Communicating with the Target Master via an IP
section
on page 52 to establish web connection to the target Master.
4.
Verify you have installed the latest version of NetLinx Studio on your PC.
5.
If an update is necessary, download the latest Studio software by first logging in to
www.amx.com
and then navigate to
Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Studio
2.4
. This program is used to setup a System number, obtain/assign the IP/URL for the connected
NetLinx Master, and transfer firmware Kit files to the Master.
6.
Verify that all cables are securely and properly connected.
7.
Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is turned On.
MAX vs. NetLinx Master - Functional Overlap
Two of the main support procedures can now be done either via NetLinx Studio or directly from the
MAX unit itself:
Querying the unit for a description of its current firmware version
Subsequent firmware Kit file upload and incorporation to a specific MAX unit
Verifying the MAX’s current version of Firmware - via the UI
1.
Launch your web browser.
2.
Enter the IP Address of the target unit into the web browser’s
Address
field.
3.
Press the
Enter
key on your keyboard to initiate the communication process and launch the initial
on-screen Enter Network Password security dialog.
4.
Enter the current username/password string into the corresponding
User name/Password
fields.
5.
Click
OK
to enter the information and proceed to the first UI page.
6.
Although its the first page displayed in the Active frame after a successful login, the Administration
page can also be accessed by clicking on the
Admin
button in the Navigation Bar.
7.
Locate the
Resources
section of this page to read the currently installed firmware version.
Verify you are using the latest version of NetLinx Studio (available online at
www.amx.com).
If you have previously setup communication with your Controller via an IP Address,
continue with the firmware update procedures outlined in the Upgrading MAX
Firmware
section on page 60
.
