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.

The Enova DGX Switcher stays offline (does not display in OnLine Tree).
Some of the LEDs on the CPU blink* depending on the components being upgraded.
Power cycles will not abort the upgrade; let it run until completion.
Once the upgrade is complete (to determine when, see "Important" above Step 9):
