Upgrading Firmware
Overview
The process of updating firmware requires a communicating NetLinx Master.
The steps for updating firmware to a TPI-PRO/DVI are virtually identical to those necessary for updating .KIT
files to a NetLinx Master, except that the target device is a "panel" instead of a Master. Refer to either your
Master’s literature or NetLinx Studio online help for those instructions.
Use the Firmware Transfers utility in NetLinx Studio to transfer firmware upgrades to the TPI-PRO/DVI. In
NetLinx Studio, select Tools > Firmware Upgrades > Send To NetLinx Device to access the Send To
NetLinx Device dialog shown in FIG. 81:
Before beginning the firmware upgrade process:
Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to your particular NetLinx Master instruction
manual for detailed setup procedures.
Select the correct resolution, touch drivers, and calibrate the TPI-PRO/DVI (see the Calibrating the
TPI-PRO/DVI section on page 36).
Configure your TPI-PRO/DVI for direct communication (see the Configuring TPI-PRO/DVI IP
Settings section on page 44 for details regarding Ethernet communication).
Verify that the TPI-PRO/DVI is powered and connected to the NetLinx Master via Ethernet.

A TPI-PRO/DVI 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 a TPI-PRO/DVI which is not using a username or
password field, you must first remove the Master Security feature to establish an
unsecured connection.
