Upgrading the NI Controller Firmware Via IP
1. Follow the procedures outlined within the Communicating Via an IP Address section on page 10 to
connect to the target NI device via the web.
2. After Studio has established a connection to the target Master, click the OnLine Tree tab of the
Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).
3. Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection
to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system. The communication method is
highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.
4. After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the PC and
the NI unit, verify the Integrated Controller appears in the OnLine Tree tab (FIG. 15) of the Workspace
window (ex: NI-4000 or NI-700). This entry is different than the NI Master which uses a device value of
00000 (see below):
5. If the NI Controller firmware being used is not current, download the latest Kit file by first logging in to
www.amx.com and then navigating to Tech Center > Firmware Files, where you can locate the desired
file from within the NI Series Device (Integrated Controller) section of the web page.
6. Click on the desired Kit file link and after you’ve accepted the Licensing Agreement, verify you have
downloaded the Integrated Controller firmware (Kit) file to a known location.
7. From within Studio, select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu
to open the Send to NetLinx Device dialog (FIG. 16). Verify the target’s System number matches the
value listed within the active System folder in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace.
The Device must match the entry for the on-board Integrated Controller (ex: NI-4100 or NI-700) device.
The OUTPUT and INPUT LEDs alternately blink to indicate the on-board Master is
incorporating the new firmware. Allow the Master 20 - 30 seconds to reboot and fully
restart.
