Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32 Digital Media Switchers
Sending Firmware (*.KIT) Files to the Enova DGX
Note: A KIT file (*.KIT) is a package of several files, all of which are required to upgrade the
firmware and are available online at www.amx.com. Firmware download links are provided in the
relevant product page.
NetLinx Devices such as the Enova DGX Switcher use KIT files for firmware upgrades.
The Enova DGX Switcher contains two components (devices) which each require a Kit file. These two
components must be kept at compatible firmware versions for proper operation.
NetLinx integrated Master Controller – Device ID 0 (zero)
Enova DGX 8/16/32 Switcher – Default Device ID 5002
Important: Any programs using the USB connection to the Enova DGX 8/16/32 must be halted prior
to the upgrade process being initiated to avoid breaking the USB link to the PC.
Caution: If for any reason the KIT file transfer or the upgrade process fails, continue to retry until
successful. Do not
reboot or power cycle the Enova DGX Switcher or change the connections until
the files are transferred and the upgrade process is complete. Failure to complete both the transfer
of files and the upgrade successfully may require a factory repair of the Enova DGX Switcher.
