This chapter contains information on upgrading firmware (see below), embedding the XBar applet (see

Upgrading Firmware
Firmware upgrades for the NXB-AP-1000 Interface on the Epica DGX 16 and 32 are handled via
NetLinx Studio using .KIT files.
Before You Start
 Verify you have the latest version of NetLinx Studio on your PC. Use the Web Update option
in NetLinx Studio’s Help menu to obtain the latest version, or go to www.amx.com and log in
as a Dealer to download the latest version.
 Verify that the NetLinx Master and the Epica DGX 16 or 32 are on the same network.
 Verify that the NetLinx Master is powered up.
 Determine the Device Number that is assigned to the Epica DGX 16 or 32.
 The Device Number can be viewed/edited in the Epica DGX 16 or 32 Configuration Manager
- Device Configuration page.
 Launch NetLinx Studio and open the OnLine Device Tree.
Tip: Place .KIT files in a local drive for speedy throughput.
To send firmware upgrade files to the Epica DGX 16 or 32:
1.
Select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device.
2. Click the Browse (...) button to navigate to the target directory.
3. From the Files list, select the appropriate .KIT file.
4. Enter the Device and System ID Numbers for the Epica DGX 16 or 32 in the Device and System
text boxes.
5. Review the File, Connection, Address, and Target Device information.
6. Click the Send button.
NetLinx Studio transfers the .KIT files and then sends a command to the system to reboot (the box must
be checked), after which the Epica DGX 16 or 32 goes through the upgrade process.
Upgrade Process
 During the process, the Status LED blinks and the system stays offline.
 Once the upgrade is complete, the Status LED stops blinking and the system comes online.
Caution: If for any reason the .KIT file transfer fails, continue to retry until the transfer is successful.
Do not
reboot the system or change the connections until the transfer is complete. Failure to
complete the transfer successfully may require factory repair of the Epica DGX 16 or 32.
