AXB-TMC/TMX+ Television Managers
Upgrading the Firmware
Your PC must be connected to the PROGRAM DB-9 connector on the Controller or camera control
unit connector using a Programming Cable in order to upgrade the firmware in the panel.
If power is lost during the download process, the unit powers up with the same set of code it had
prior to the download. There is a small window during which a loss of power can be catastrophic. If
power is lost between the erase of flash memory and the completion of copying the new boot code
from RAM to flash memory, the unit will not operate at all when power returns.
If you have not already installed the SOFTROM program, do so by following the steps contained on
the AMX Control Disc.

3.
Using the right arrow key, move to the BAUD RATE column. Then, use the up/down arrow
