Upgrading Firmware

Overview

The basic process of upgrading firmware on NX-series controllers involves downloading the latest firmware files from
www.amx.com and using NetLinx Studio to transfer the files to a target NX controller.
Use the OnLine Device tree in NetLinx Studio to view the firmware files currently loaded on the Central Controller. FIG. 21 shows an
example OnLine Tree indicating an NX-3200:

While the method of upgrading firmware files is the same for all Central Controllers, there are some specific points relative to the
specific model and type of controller that must be noted:

NX Controllers - Firmware Files

NX controllers contain two devices (NX Master and Device Controller), each of which require a separate firmware (*.kit) file.
The NX Master firmware file is not the same as the Device Controller firmware file. These two devices must be kept at compatible
firmware versions for proper operation. Therefore, both files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the
Integrated Controllers.

Enova DVX

Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation Switchers contain three devices (NX Master, Device Controller, and A/V Switcher/ Scaler), each
of which require a separate Kit file. These three devices must be kept at compatible firmware versions for proper operation.
Therefore, all three files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation
Switchers.

NX-Series Controllers - WebConsole & Programming Guide
The on-board NX Master is listed first in the OnLine Tree as
"00000 NX Master (<f irmware version>)"
For example, the NX Master in FIG. 21 above is "00000 - NX-3200 Master (v3.4.555)".
• "00000" represents Device ID 0, which is reserved for the Master
• The number in parenthesis (in this case "v3.4.555") is the current NX Master firmware
version.
The Device Controller is listed next as "05001 NX-XXXX (<f irmware version>)"
For example, the Device Controller in FIG. 21 above is "05001 - NX-3200 (v1.0.35)".
• "05001" represents Device ID 5001, which is reserved for the Device Control ports.
• The number in parenthesis (in this case "v1.0.35") is the current Device Controller firmware
version.
The on-board NX Master is listed first in the Online Tree as
"00000 NX Master (<f irmware version>)"
• "00000" represents Device ID 0, which is reserved for the Master
• The number in parenthesis is the current Master firmware version.
The Device Controller is listed next as
"05001 NX-XXXX (<f irmware version>)"
• "05001" represents Device ID 5001, which is reserved for the Device Control ports.
• The number in parenthesis is the current Device Controller firmware version.
The A/V Switcher/Scaler is listed third as
"05002 NX-XXXX (<f irmware version>)"
• "05002" represents Device ID 5002, which is reserved for the A/V Switcher/Scaler.
• The number in parenthesis is the current Device Controller firmware version.
