Sending Firmware To An Axcess Device (Tsk File) - AMX NETLINX STUDIO V2.4 Instruction Manual

Communications and File Transfers
If the device is a NetLinx Master or NXI, then the Reboot option is valid. Other
NetLinx devices need to be given the command to reboot (if they support it). Allow
20-30 seconds for NetLinx Masters to reboot. When the Master has rebooted, the
Status LED on the front panel blinks once a second to indicate that it is functioning
properly. Once it has rebooted, click OK.

Sending Firmware To An Axcess Device (Tsk File)

Use the Firmware Transfers options in the Tools menu to update the firmware in Axcess Masters.
Axcess Master Controllers use .TSK files for firmware upgrades.
To update Axcess firmware:
1. Choose Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send To Axcess Device to open the Send To Axcess
Device dialog.
2. Click the Browse button to navigate to the target directory (in the Browse For Folder dialog).
The selected directory path is displayed in the Location text box. Assuming that the specified
target directory contains one or more TSK files, the TSK files in the selected directory are
displayed in the Files list box (with the file's last modification date and time).
3. Select the desired TSK file from the list.
4. Click the Query command button to populate the Devices list with a list of all Axcess devices
currently online and capable of receiving the firmware.
5. Select the target AXlink device from the list.
6. Review the File, Connection, and Target Device information before you send.
Click the Send button to send the selected TSK file to the specified device. You can watch the
progress of the transfer in the "Send to Axcess Device" dialog.
Once the TSK file has been transferred, the program prompts you to reboot the Master. Click Yes to
reboot, and the program initiates the reboot sequence. When the Master has rebooted, the Status
LED on the front panel of the Master blinks once a second to indicate that it is functioning properly.
Once it has rebooted, click OK.
