Upgrading Modero Firmware
Overview
The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for
updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit files to a
NetLinx Master, except the target device is a panel instead of a Master. Refer to either the Master’s User
Manual or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.
Before beginning the Upgrade process:
Set up and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master Instruction
Manual for detailed setup procedures.
Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the panel for use. Refer to the Panel
Calibration section on page 21.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio Help file for more information on uploading files.
Configure the panel for a direct connection. Refer to the Configuring Communication section on
page 23 for more information.
Upgrading the Firmware via the USB port
Before beginning with this section, verify that your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is
securely inserted into the PC’s USB port.
The panel must be powered on before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel.
Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
1. After the touch panel powers-up, press and hold the Front Setup Access button for 6 seconds to access
the Setup page. Select Protected Setup and then System Settings to open the System Settings page
(FIG. 41).
2. Select the Master tab at the top of the System Settings page to verify that the entered information is
correct.
A touch panel 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 or through a
panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the
Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel prior to installing the
latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB
driver installation.
This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 application installations.
