When NetLinx Studio detects that the file is a G5 *.kit file, it will automatically attempt to send the file via HTTP (using
the stand-alone web server that is started by NetLinx Studio).

In NetLinx Studio’s Device Tree, select the target G5 Panel for the firmware download (FIG. 30):

Right-Click on the G5 panel, and select

NetLinx Device
dialog.

button to locate and select the directory containing the G5 firmware (*.kit) file that will be
transferred, in the
Browse For Folder
dialog.

Click

to close the
Browse For Folder
dialog and populate the
Files
window with a listing of *.kit files found in
the selected folder.

In the
Files
window, click to select the G5 *.kit file to transfer (FIG. 31):

to initiate the firmware file transfer. The progress of the transfer is indicated in the progress bars
7.
The Panel will display the Message "
Updating System Files
", then restart itself.
8.
The
Installing System Update
page will be displayed on the panel until the firmware upgrade process is complete.
At this point, the panel will reboot and open it’s home page.
If an error occurs during this type of transfer, then the

dialog is invoked (FIG. 32):
The steps for initiating a firmware transfer to a G5 touch panel are essentially the
same as for any other NetLinx device. Refer to NetLinx Studio (v3.4 or higher) online
help for details on using NetLinx Studio for firmware file transfers.
