UDM-0808-SIG 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 UDM-0808-SIG Hub.
To send firmware files, select Tools > Firmware Transfers, then select Send to NetLinx Device from the sub-
menu.
Before You Start
1.
Verify you have the latest version of NetLinx Studio on your PC. Use the Web Update option in NetLinx
Studio’s Help menu to obtain the latest version. Alternatively, go to www.amx.com and login as a Dealer
to download the latest version.
2.
Go to www.amx.com and download the latest Firmware file. Firmware files are available to download
from www.amx.com - on the product’s page in the online catalog.
3.
Verify that an Ethernet cable is connected from the NetLinx Master to the Ethernet Hub.
4.
Verify that the NetLinx Master is powered On.
5.
Determine the Device Number assigned to the target UDM-0808-SIG.
By default, the Device Number assigned to the UDM-0808-SIG is 05600.
The Device Number can be viewed/edited in the UDM-0808-SIG Configuration Manager - Device
Configuration Page (see the Device Configuration tab section on page 26 for details).

Sending a Firmware (*.KIT) File To the UDM-0808-SIG
Use the Firmware Transfers options in the Tools menu to update the firmware in the UDM-0808-SIG. NetLinx
Devices such as the UDM-0808-SIG use KIT files for firmware upgrades.
The Online Device Tree (Online Tree tab of the Workspace Window) displays information about
each online device, including the current firmware version.
Before attempting to upgrade the firmware, you must have the appropriate Kit file for your UDM-
0808-SIG.
To update NetLinx firmware:
1.
Choose Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device to open the Send To NetLinx Device
dialog (FIG. 29).
A Kit file (*.KIT) is a package of several files, all of which are required to upgrade the
firmware, and are available online via www.amx.com. Firmware download links are
provided in the relevant product page.
