firmware, and are available online via www.amx.com. Firmware download links are
provided in the relevant product page.

The Device Number can be viewed/edited in the NXB-KNX Configuration Manager - Device
Configuration Page (see the Device Configuration section on page 8 for details).
The Online Device Tree (Online Tree tab of the Workspace Window) displays information about
each online device, including the current firmware version.
Before attempting to upgrade the firmware, you must have the appropriate Kit file for your

drive for speedy throughput.
