3. Select the appropriate *.KIT file from the Files list.
NOTE:
Always update Incite devices in the following order:
Device 5002 (AV Switcher/Scaler)
Device 0 (NetLinx Master, if available)
Device 5001 (Integrated Control Ports)
ALWAYS consult the Readme.TXT file bundled with the firmware file for any special instructions before upgrading to a newer firm-
ware version. If no specifics are provided, use the order provided above.
4. Enter the Device ID number of the integrated device to be upgraded in the Device text box and the System ID
numbers for the digital video presentation switcher in the System text box.
The device number of the NetLinx Master is 0.
By default, the Device number assigned to the integrated control ports is 5001.
Use the Online Device Tree to determine the device’s assigned IDs, if it has been changed.
5. Review the File, Connection, Address, and Target Device information before you send.
6. Click the Send button. You can watch the progress of the transfer in the Send to NetLinx Device dialog box.
NetLinx Studio transfers the files to the digital video presentation switcher and then tells it to reboot. After it reboots, the digital
video presentation switcher actually goes through the upgrade process.
During the upgrade process, the Status LED blinks, and the digital video presentation switcher stays offline.
Once the upgrade is complete, the LED will stop blinking and the digital video presentation switcher will be online.
Repeat the firmware update process for the next device until all devices are updated.
NOTE:
Upgrading the Master or device firmware can take several minutes.
CAUTION:
If for any reason your Kit file transfer should fail, continue to retry the transfer until you are successful. DO NOT reboot
the digital video presentation switcher, or change connections until the transfer is complete. Failure to complete this operation
successfully may require a factory repair of the digital video presentation switcher.
