Upgrading the On-board Master Firmware via an IP
The on-board Master firmware Kit file is not the same as the Integrated Controller Kit file. Below is a
table outlining the current sets of on-board Master and Integrated Controller Kit files used by the NI-
Series of products:
1.
Follow the procedures outlined within the Communicating Via an IP section on page 9 to connect to
the target NI device via the web.
2.
After NetLinx Studio has established a connection to the target Master, click the OnLine Tree tab
of the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).
3.
Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new
connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system. The
communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.
4.
After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the
PC and the Master, verify the NetLinx Master (00000 NI Master) appears in the OnLine Tree tab
of the Workspace window. The default NI Master value is zero (00000).
5.
If the on-board Master firmware being used is not current, download the latest Kit file by first
logging in to www.amx.com and then navigating to Tech Center > Firmware Files, where you can
locate the desired file from within the NetLinx section of the web page.
6.
Click on the desired Kit file link and after you’ve accepted the Licensing Agreement, verify you
have downloaded the correct NI Master firmware (Kit) file to a known location.
