Upgrading the NI Controller Firmware Via IP

Follow the procedures outlined within the
Communicating Via an IP
section on page 12 to connect
to the target NI device via the web.

After Studio has established a connection to the target Master, click the
OnLine Tree
tab of the
Workspace window to view the devices on the System.
The default System value is one (1)
.
3.
Right-click the associated System number and select
Refresh System

connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system.
The
communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.

After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the
PC and the NI unit, verify the Integrated Controller appears in the
OnLine Tree
tab (FIG. 8) of the
Workspace window (ex:
NI-4000
or
NI-700
). This entry is different than the NI Master which uses a
device value of

If the NI Controller firmware being used is not current, download the latest Kit file by first logging
in to
www.amx.com
and then navigating to
Tech Center
>
Firmware Files
, where you can locate
the desired file from within the
NI Series Device
(Integrated Controller) section of the web page.
Only upon the initial installation
of a new Kit file to an on-board Master will there
be a error message displayed indicating a failure of the last component to
successfully download.
This is part of the NI Master update procedure and requires that the firmware be
reloaded after a reboot of the unit. This consecutive process installs the final
component of the new Kit file.
The OUTPUT and INPUT LEDs alternately blink to indicate the on-board Master is
incorporating the new firmware. Allow the Master 20 - 30 seconds to reboot and fully
restart.
