Appendix A – Upgrading the Firmware
Overview
The NetLinx Studio software application (available for free download from www.amx.com) provides the ability to
transfer KIT files to NetLinx devices such as DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers. The firmware on the
Transmitters and Receiver can be upgraded in the field.
Endpoint System (with a Switcher)
When a DXLink Fiber Transmitter and/or a Receiver are being used in conjunction with a switcher as an endpoint
system, the switcher’s integrated Master is used for the KIT file transfer. FIG. 26 shows a Transmitter and a Receiver
bound to the integrated Master in an Enova DGX 32 in NetLinx Studio’s OnLine Tree. Follow the instructions on the top
of page 90 to prepare an endpoint system for KIT file transfer and the instructions on page 91 for the actual transfer.
