Upgrading the Firmware
Overview
The PTE-300 features upgradable firmware, with updates available via the AMX website. Firmware
upgrades are accomplished via a Windows HyperTerminal session.
Before You Begin
Download the latest PTE-300 firmware file (
SW630_65_A_PTE300_VX_XX.KMT
) from
www.amx.com.
Verify that nothing is connected to Port 23 on your PC. This is the port used by HyperTerminal
to transfer files.
You will need the IP address for the PTE-300 in order to transfer the firmware file to the
device.
When using HyperTerminal, the PTE-300 must reside on the same LAN as your PC in order to
access it.
