Using RPMLoader
Updating NetLinx Firmware
1.
Choose Options > Advanced > Firmware File Transfer to open the Firmware File Transfer 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 field. Assuming that the specified target directory
contains one or more Kit files, the Kit files in the selected directory are displayed in the Files list box
(with the file's last modified date and time).
3.
Select the appropriate .KIT file from the list.
4.
Enter the Device and System ID numbers for the target NetLinx Device in the Device and System fields.
If the Kit file is determined to be specifically for the target Master, the Device number is forced to zero.
If the Kit file is for an unspecified device, you must enter the correct Device ID number. You can use the
Online Device Tree to determine the device's assigned ID.
5.
Review the File, Connection, Address, and Target Device information before you send.
6.
When the transfer is finished, and the reboot is complete, press the Close button.
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.
22
Check the Reboot option if required by the target device (see note below).
Click the Send button to send the selected KIT file to the specified device. You can watch the
progress of the transfer in the Progress bars.
