Upgrading the Firmware
20. Touch anywhere on the LCD to return the CP4 to the Main page (or wait 10-seconds for the
same result).
21. Reboot the CP4 touch panel by cycling power to the unit. This step completes the firmware
upgrade procedure.

Upgrading the Firmware Using SOFTROM

Your PC must be connected to the PROGRAM DB9 connector on the Axcess Controller using a
Programming Cable in order to upgrade the firmware in the panel.
If power is lost during the download process, the unit powers up with the same set of code it had
prior to the download. There is a small window during which a loss of power can be catastrophic. If
power is lost between the erase of flash memory and the completion of copying the new boot code
from RAM to flash memory, the unit will not operate at all when power returns.
If you have not already installed the SOFTROM program, do so by logging into the
AMX.com site and going to Dealers > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Firmware Files.
Scroll-down the list of products to find the AXT/D-CP4 firmware TSK files.
