Upgrading Firmware

Overview

The latest firmware (*.kit) file for each panel is available to download from www.amx.com. To download firmware files,
go to the catalog page for your panel type, and click the link under "Firmware Files" on the right side of the catalog
page. The ZIP file that is downloaded via this link contains the firmware (*.kit) file that can be loaded on the panel, as
well as release notes and any relevant programming instructions.

Upgrading Firmware via USB Flash Drive

Firmware and TPDesign5 files may be transferred to the panel via USB flash drive.

Make sure this is the only .kit file in this directory - if not, the latest version will be
used.
