Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio
Firmware updates to S Series panels can be done via the NetLinx Studio software application. This requires that the touch panel is
connected to a NetLinx Master, and that the Master is on the same network as (or accessible by) the PC running NetLinx Studio. This
is because the firmware file is loaded to the panel through it’s connection to the Master.
S Series panels use Kit files for firmware upgrades. 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 (refer to the device page for firmware updates).
Transferring the KIT File via NetLinx Studio
