Sending Firmware (*.Kit) Files To The Enova Dgx - AMX DGX1600-ENC Hardware Reference Manual

Sending Firmware (*.KIT) Files to the Enova DGX

NOTE: A KIT file (*.KIT) is a package of several files, all of which are required to upgrade the firmware and are available online at
www.amx.com. Firmware download links are provided in the relevant product page.
NetLinx Devices such as the Enova DGX Switcher use KIT files for firmware upgrades.
The Enova DGX Switcher contains two components (devices) which each require a Kit file. These two components must be kept at
compatible firmware versions for proper operation.
NetLinx integrated Master Controller – Device ID 0 (zero)

Enova DGX 800/1600/3200/6400 Switcher – Default Device ID 5002

IMPORTANT: Any programs using the USB connection to an Enova DGX 100 Series Switcher must be halted prior to the upgrade
process being initiated to avoid breaking the USB link to the PC.
CAUTION: If for any reason the KIT file transfer or the upgrade process fails, continue to retry until successful. Do not reboot or
power cycle the Enova DGX Switcher or change the connections until the files are transferred and the upgrade process is complete.
Failure to complete both the transfer of files and the upgrade successfully may require a factory repair of the Enova DGX Switcher.
