Upgrading TPI/4 Firmware
Before beginning the Upgrade process:
Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to your particular NetLinx Master instruction
manual for detailed setup procedures.
Select the correct resolution, touch drivers, and calibrate the TPI/4. Refer to the
Step 3:
Calibrating the TPI/4
section on page 31.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Help file for more information on uploading
files via Ethernet.
Configure your TPI/4 for direct communication. Refer to the
Configuring
Communication
section on page 33 for more detailed information about Ethernet or ICSNet
communication.
The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required
steps for updating firmware to a TPI/4 are virtually identical to those necessary for updating KIT files to
a NetLinx Master (
except the target device is a panel instead of a Master
). Refer to either your Master’s
literature or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.
Upgrading the TPI/4 Firmware through an IP Address
Before beginning with this section, verify that your TPI/4 unit is powered and connected to the NetLinx
Master through either an Ethernet connection.
Step 1: Prepare the Master for communication through an IP
1.
Obtain the IP Address of the NetLinx Master from your System Administrator, if you do not have
an IP Address for the Master, refer to your particular Master’s instruction manual for more

From the
Online Tree
tab of the Workspace window, select the NetLinx Master.
Follow steps outlined in either the
Obtaining or Assigning the Master’s IP Address
sections
from your particular NetLinx Master instruction manual to use an address.

Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 33).
A TPI/4 which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to
communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on a TPI/4
which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the Master
Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.
