NXWIN4 SOFTWARE FOR NXAMP FIRMWARE UPGRADE
NXwin4 software for NXAMP firmware upgrade
Please check regularly on NEXO website (www.nexo-sa.com) for NXAMP Powered
TDcontroller firmware upgrade. These upgrades are freely downloadable and can improve:
• NEXO’s setup for cabinets (including new setups for new products).
• NXAMP firmware functions.
• NXAMP remote control functions.
WARNING! NXAMP Powered TDcontroller delivered with a LOAD_00x firmware
contains FLAT firmware only (no NEXO cabinet setup installed), so it is mandatory to
upgrade the firmware of the unit to the last available firmware that you will find on our
website. NXAMP Powered TDcontroller delivered with LOAD2_53 or higher contains all
NEXO speakers setups known at the moment, but upgrade can be needed for new
products. Please check the setup list in a separate document.
What you need to upgrade your NXAMP
NXAMP can be upgraded either:
• By its serial port (RS-232).
• By its “Ethersound™ IN” or “Remote ES100” port if a NXES104 board is fitted.
• By any of the network ports of a NXDT104 board.
NB: Upgrade through one of the above Ethersound™ ports when the unit is a Primary
Master. This provides faster results than the other solution.
WARNING! When a NXES104 or NXDT104 board is fitted into the unit, be sure to
upgrade the NXAMP firmware through a network port (not the serial port). Doing so will
allow to automatically upgrade the firmware of the expansion board if needed.
Serial port upgrade
To upgrade from the serial port you will need:
• A computer running Windows XP 32 bit / Windows Vista 32 bit / Windows Vista 64
bit / Windows Seven 32 bit / Windows Seven 64 bit with NXwin4 installed
• A serial port or an USB to serial adapter
• A null-modem cable (“crossover” serial port cable, with 2 DB9 female plugs). See
pins cabling bellow.
