MXD/T-700 7" Modero X Series® Touch Panels

Upgrading Firmware

Overview

The latest firmware (*.kit) file for each panel is available to download from www.amx.com. To download firmware files, 
go to the catalog page for your panel type, and click the link under "

Firmware Files

" on the right side of the catalog 

page (FIG. 23): 

The ZIP file that is downloaded via this link contains the firmware (*.kit) file that can be loaded on the panel (as well as 
release notes and any relevant programming instructions).

Upgrading Firmware via USB Flash Drive

Firmware and TPDesign4 files may be transferred to the panel via USB flash drive. When looking at the device from the 
front, the MXT-700 has two USB ports on the rear right of the device (FIG. 3).

Load the Firmware on a USB Flash Drive

1.

Insert the USB flash drive in an available USB port on your PC.



The flash drive must be in either FAT32 or FAT16 format.



32GB is the maximum acceptable size for flash drives used with touch panels.



For wall-mounted panels (MXD-xxx), accessing the USB ports may require removing the panel from the wall 

mount (if a USB extension was not already installed).

2.

Create a directory on the USB flash drive with one of the following names, depending on the panel you are 
upgrading:



Note that the name must match exactly (do not include the quotes).



These directory names are 

not

 case-sensitive: 

3.

Copy the firmware (.kit) file to be transferred (for example, "

SW5968_ModeroX_v2_103_52.kit

") into this directory 

on the flash drive.
