6. Click Send to upgrade the firmware on the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver.
The Power LED blinks during the process for upgrading the firmware (this is normal).
The progress of the upgrade displays in the Upload Status field. Status is also indicated in the Status
bar at the bottom. The success of the upgrade or any errors that occur will be reported.*
7. Close the window when the transfer is complete.
8. When the process is complete, cycle power using the new image on the DXLink Module:
a. Unplug the desktop power supply from the AC power source and plug it back in,
b. If the power source is the switcher, unplug the RJ-45 connector from the DXLink port on the
module.
9. Wait 60 seconds and refresh the System OnLine Tree, and check to be sure the firmware version
matches the version selected for the upgrade.
* If an incorrect file has been selected or if the upgrade has failed, the Power LED will briefly illuminate
solid green then change to a slow blink. To recover (in either case), reboot the Transmitter or Receiver
and browse to select the correct file and then re-send.
Reminders
When the file transfer is complete, remember to do the following:
Set the #1 Toggle on the DXLink Module to OFF.
If you set the PC to Static IP Mode for a Virtual NetLinx Master file transfer, return the setting
to “Obtain an IP address automatically” (see page 110).
