Sending Firmware (*.KIT) Files to the DVX-2100HD

Use the Firmware Transfers options in the Tools menu to update the firmware in the DVX-2100HD. NetLinx
Devices such as the DVX-2100HD 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. Firmware download links are
provided in the relevant product page.

By default, the Device Number assigned to the DVX-2100HD is 0 (zero). (The Master device
number is always 0 and cannot be changed.)
The Device Number can be viewed on the DVX-2100HD Configuration Manager - Device
Configuration page.
The Online Device Tree (Online Tree tab of the Workspace Window) 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
DVX-2100HD.
The DVX-2100HD contains three devices which each require a separate Kit file. These three
devices must be kept at compatible firmware versions for proper operation.
• Device ID 0: NetLinx Master Controller
• Default Device ID 5001: Device Control Ports
• Default Device ID 5002: A/V Switcher/Scaler
You can also upgrade firmware on a connected UDM-RX02N. By default, this device ID is 5003.
