Enova DGX Switcher Upgrade (Offline Upgrade)
Important: Upgrading the switcher's firmware can take a considerable amount of time depending on
the components being upgraded in the system. If you are unsure of the progress, the upgrade status
is displayed in the WebConsole and updates periodically. In the WebConsole after the IP address,
enter /web/upgrade/systemUpgradeStatus.xml (for example, http://192.168.44.60/web/upgrade/
systemUpgradeStatus.xml). Since the switcher is offline, the direct path must be used.
9. Select the "Enova DGX" KIT file from the files list. Click Send. A status bar is provided under
Progress. NetLinx Studio transfers the files to the Enova DGX Switcher and then tells the system to
restart, at which time the upgrade process begins.

* During normal operation a blinking red Status LED is cause for concern (indicates the system is in IOS
mode). However, during firmware upgrade the system may be in IOS mode for a period of time.
