Installing New Firmware From An External USB Stick
Va the Settings Pages
1.
Download the latest Modero G4 touch panel firmware from
www.amx.com
and save it to a USB stick.
NOTE:
The firmware must be saved in a folder in the USB stick directory, corresponding with the touch panel model, in order to
be recognized by the touch panel. For instance, firmware for an MST-431 must be saved in a folder named “mst-431” to be
recognized by the panel. The folder name is not case sensitive.
2.
Insert the USB stick into an available USB port. This may require disassembling wall-mounted touch panels to access the USB
ports if a USB extension was not already installed.
NOTE:
In the case of the MSD-431-L, connecting a USB stick to the device will require the use of a USB OTG adapter.
3.

Install Firmware
page, select the
New
field.

A System Message window appears, asking “Are you sure you wish to install the following firmware?”. The option to choose
Yes
will be enabled after five seconds. Press
Yes
to load the firmware listed, and
No
to return to the
Firmware Installation
popup window.

The device will now upload the new firmware after prompting you to remove the USB stick. It will then automatically reboot.
