Firmware File Transfers
NXI Master Controllers use Kit files for firmware upgrades. A Kit file (.KIT) is a package of several files, all
of which are required to upgrade the firmware, and are available online via www.amx.com.
The Online Device Tree 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 NetLinx Master.
Warning! If for any reason your Kit file transfer should fail, continue to retry the
transfer until you are successful. DO NOT reboot the Master, or change connections
until the transfer is complete. Failure to complete this operation successfully may
result in a factory repair of the Master.
