5. If the NXC card firmware being used is not current, download the firmware file by first logging
in to www.amx.com and then navigate to Tech Center > Firmware Files and from within the
NetLinx section of the web page locate the NXC card entries.
6. Click on the desired Kit file link and after you’ve accepted the Licensing Agreement, verify
you have downloaded the NetLinx NXC card firmware (Kit) file to a known location.
7. Verify you have downloaded the latest NetLinx Control Card firmware (Kit) file to a known
location.
8. Select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu to open
the Send to NetLinx Device dialog (FIG. 44). Verify the target’s Device and System numbers
matches the value listed within the System folder in the Workspace window.
9. Select the Control Card’s Kit file from the Files section (FIG. 44) (in our above example we
chose to update the NXC-VOL4 card).
10. Enter the System and Device numbers associated with the desired Master (listed in the
Workspace window). A device value of 00003 is the same as a value of 3.
11. Click the Reboot Device checkbox to reboot the NI unit after the firmware update process is
complete and then re-detect the new NXC card firmware.
12. Click Send to begin the transfer. The file transfer progress is indicated on the bottom-right of
the dialog (FIG. 44).
If the control card firmware is not up to date; download the latest firmware file from
www.amx.com > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Firmware Files >
NXC-XXX.
In this example, the NXC-VOL card contains out-of-date firmware and requires build
1.00.09.
