The unit reboots after the upgrade and enters un-archiving mode, during which the AMX logo is displayed and the POWER LED
continuously flashes. The unit reboots again after un-archiving with the new firmware running.
NOTE:
If you are using the Mio R-4 in conjunction with other ZigBee-enabled devices, such as the Mio R-3 and the NXR-ZGW wireless
gateway, you should update the ZigBee firmware to all of the ZigBee devices at the same time.
USB
NetLinx Studio can be set up to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for
communication to the Mio R-4. For a PC to establish a USB connection with a Mio R-4, it must have the AMX USBLAN driver
installed.
The AMX USBLAN driver for Windows XP can be downloaded as a stand-alone application from www.amx.com.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to temporarily disable any software firewalls on the computer before attempting to transfer via USB. A
common source of firmware transfer failures over USB to an Mio R-4 is that Windows Firewall is blocking the Mio R-4 from connecting
to the virtual netlinx master.
Prepare Your PC for USB Communication With the Mio R-4
If you haven’t already done so, download and install the latest versions of NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 (from www.amx.com), and
restart your PC.
Configure a Virtual NetLinx Master Using NetLinx Studio
A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target Mio R-4 is not connected to a physical NetLinx Master. In this situation, the
PC takes on the functions of a Master via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PC’s Ethernet
Address (via TCP/IP using a known PC’s IP Address as the Master) or using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly
to the Mio R-4.
