Exterior PixLine™ User Manual

Installing new software

It may be necessary to upload new software (i.e. device firmware) to the Exterior PixLine if it appears to 
have a software-related fault or if you want to update to a newer software version.

Software for Martin™ products is available from the Martin™ website. The Exterior PixLine software can be 
installed from the P3 System Controller over the P3 data link. You will need a Martin P3 PowerPort 1500™ 
or a Martin P3 PowerPort 1000 IP™ for this. See the P3 System Controller user manual for software 
installation instructions.
