15. Repeat steps 5 - 9 again (the last component will now successfully be installed).
16. Click Close once the download process is complete.
The OUTPUT and INPUT LEDs alternately blink to indicate the on-board Master is
incorporating the new firmware. Allow the Master 20 - 30 seconds to reboot and fully
restart.

System and populates the list with the current devices (and their firmware versions) on your system.

Upgrading the NI Controller Firmware via IP

1. Follow the procedures outlined within the Communicating with the NI Device via an IP section on
page 31 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 NI unit, verify that the device appears in the OnLine Tree tab (FIG. 28) of the
Workspace window (ex: NI-3101). This entry is different than that of the NI Master, which uses a
device value of 00000 (see below):

5. If the NI Controller 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, locating the desired
file from within the NI Series Device (Integrated Controller) section of the web page.
6. Click on the desired Kit file link, accept the Licensing Agreement, and verify that the Integrated
Controller firmware (Kit) file has been downloaded to a known location.
