Updating Firmware

You can view your current firmware in the Firmware Version field on the System Management tab. Follow these steps to upgrade
the firmware on the NMX-ENC:
1. Download the latest firmware kit file for the NMX-ENC from www.amx.com. Save or copy the kit file to a hard drive, USB drive,
or flash drive accessible by the encoder.
2. Open WebConsole in a web browser. See the Accessing the WebConsole section on page 25 for more information.
3. Select the System tab.
4. Click Select File.
5. Navigate to the directory where the kit file is saved or stored, and select the kit file.
6. Click Update Firmware. The 4 LEDs on the front panel of the encoder (Stream, Video In, Power, and USB) begin flashing
indicating the firmware is processing. If a streaming session is in progress when the firmware update begins, it will be
terminated. When the firmware update is complete, all LEDs stop flashing.
NOTE: You must reload your browser when upgrading the encoder's f irmware from version 1.2.1 to version 1.5.x. The user interface
will not update until you reload the browser after upgrading the f irmware.

Instruction Manual - NMX-ENC H.264 Encoder
Displays the status of the Master connection.
Select the NetLinx Master mode from the menu. You can choose from URL, Auto, or Listen.
• URL instructs the encoder to connect to a specific NetLinx Master at the defined URL. This setting is
used when the IP Address of the target NetLinx Master is known. In this system, the encoder acts as a
client and the Master acts as a server (in that clients attach to it). In URL mode, you can only enter the
IP/URL of the target Master. The System Number is 0 (for an unknown System Number) and the port
number defaults to 1319.
• Auto is used to instruct the encoder to search for a Master that both uses the same System Number
(assigned within this page's System No field) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case,
the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
• Listen is used to listen for Masters that reside on the same subnet as the encoder.
Enter the IP Address or URL used by the target Master in the provided field.
NOTE: This is the same IP Address used by NetLinx Studio to communicate with the Master.
Enter the port number used by the NetLinx Master in the provided field. The default value is 1319.
Enter a current device value (non-duplicated) in the provided field. You must use a value which is not
currently being used by another device currently communicating with the target Master.
In NetLinx Studio, use the Online Tree tab to review what device values are already being used by the
target Master.
