Upgrading Firmware Via NetLinx Studio

The MXT-700 and MXD-700 use an Ethernet connection for programming, firmware updates, and touch panel
file transfer via NetLinx Studio. If you have access to the panel's network, you may transfer files directly to the
panel through NetLinx Studio
Firmware upgrades cannot be made through an Ethernet-connected PC to the touch
panel, unless that PC is connected to the panel's network. Upgrades cannot be made
with NetLinx Studio through a USB connection to the panel from a PC. For more
information on firmware transfers, please refer to the online help in NetLinx Studio.

to communicate directly with a panel. Everything else, such as the Authentication, is greyed-out because
this connection is not going through the Master's UI.
