Upgrading Modero Firmware; Upgrading The Modero Firmware Via The Usb Port; Step 1: Configure The Panel For A Usb Connection Type - AMX NXD-CV7 Instruction Manual

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Before beginning the Upgrade process:
It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct
Ethernet connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply.
If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the
panel flash file system may become corrupted.
The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The
required steps for updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for
updating KIT files to a NetLinx Master (except the target device is a panel instead of a Master).
Refer to either your Master's literature or Studio 2.3 Help file for those procedures.
A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to
communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a
panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the
Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.

Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port

Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB
connector is securely inserted into the PC's USB port. The panel must be powered-on before
connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the
latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB
driver installation.
This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 application installations.

Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed; confirm the proper installation of
the large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.
2. After the CV7 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button
(for 3 seconds) to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
3. Select Protected Setup > System Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the System
Connection page.

Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the your particular NetLinx Master
Instruction Manual for detailed setup procedures.
Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the Modero panel for use. Refer to the
Panel Calibration section on page 45.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.3 or higher Help file for more information on
uploading files via Ethernet.
Configure your panel for either direct connect or wireless communication. Refer to the
Configuring Communication section on page 47 for more information.
