NXB-KNX Operation/Reference Guide
NetLinx Firmware Upgrades
Overview
The NetLinx Studio software application (available for free download from www.amx.com) provides the
ability to transfer KIT firmware files to a NetLinx device such as the NXB-KNX.
To send firmware files, select
Tools > Firmware Transfers,
then select
Send to NetLinx Device
from the
sub-menu.
Before You Start
1.
Establish the Firmware and device Application versions currently loaded on your NXB-KNX.
In the Admin Menu, look for the following entries:
Application Upgrade
- Accesses the
Application Upgrade Manager
page.
Firmware Upgrade
- Accesses the
Firmware Upgrade Manager
page.
The presence of these options in the Admin Menu indicates that your NXB-KNX unit is currently loaded
with:
Firmware version
1.0.14
and
Application version
1.0.1
In this case, the NXB-KNX must be upgraded to the following Firmware and device Application versions
(via .JAR files), in order to allow the NXB-KNX to function as a native NetLinx Device:
Firmware version
1.0.36
(or higher)
Application version
2.0.15
(or higher)
Refer to the
One-Time Upgrade of the NXB-KNX to a Native NetLinx Device
section on page 47 for
directions on upgrading the Firmware and Application versions to these base minimum versions.
