Sending Firmware (*.KIT) Files to the Device
Use the Firmware Transfers options in the Tools menu to update the firmware on the device. NetLinx Devices such as Incite Pre-

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.
The Online Device Tree (Online Tree tab of the Workspace Window) displays information about each online device, includ-
ing the current firmware version.
Before attempting to upgrade the firmware, you must have the appropriate Kit file for your device.
The digital video presentation switcher contains two devices which each require a separate Kit file. These three devices must be
kept at compatible firmware versions for proper operation.
