Installing New Firmware From an External USB Stick
For more information on updating firmware for your touch panel, particularly concerning the format and the directory
placement of the firmware upgrade, please refer to the
Upgrading Firmware
section of the touch panel’s Operation
Reference Guide (available at www.amx.com).
Installing New Firmware From an External Disk Via the Settings Pages
1.
Download the latest Modero X/S Series G4 touch panel firmware from
www.amx.com
and save it to a USB stick.
2.
Insert the USB stick into an available USB port. This may require disassembling wall-mounted touch panels to
access the USB ports if a USB extension was not already installed.
3.
From the
Install Firmware
page, select the
New
field.
4.
A System Message window appears, asking “
Are you sure you wish to install the following firmware?
”. The option
to choose
Yes
will be enabled after five seconds. Press
Yes
to load the firmware listed, and
No
to return to the
Firmware Installation
popup window.
5.
The device will now upload the new firmware and then reboot.
Installing New Firmware From an External USB Stick From the Panel Bootup
1.
Before starting, download the firmware .kit file to a USB stick and connect the USB stick to the touch panel’s USB
A port.
2.
Reboot the touch panel.
When the touch panel restarts, the device will detect the firmware upgrade and display a screen requesting
that you touch the screen to initiate an update (FIG. 56).
If you do not touch the screen within three seconds, the firmware update will not be initiated and the panel
will boot up normally (FIG. 57).
3.
After pressing the screen to initiate the update, a new screen appears, informing you that the upgrade is in progress
(FIG. 58).
The firmware must be saved in a folder in the USB stick directory, corresponding with
the touch panel model, in order to be recognized by the touch panel. For instance,
firmware for an MXD-2000XL-PAN must be saved in a folder named
“mxd-2000xl-pan” to be recognized by the panel. The folder name is not case
sensitive.
