Sending Firmware (*.KIT) Files to the DVX
Use the Firmware Transfers options in the Tools menu to update the firmware in the DVX. NetLinx Devices such as the DVX use KIT
files for firmware upgrades.
NOTE:
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, including
the current firmware version.
Before attempting to upgrade the firmware, you must have the appropriate Kit file for your DVX.
The DVX contains two devices which each require a separate Kit file. These three devices must be kept at compatible firmware
versions for proper operation.
