www.amx.com. Firmware download links are provided in the relevant product page.
The Online Device Tree (Online Tree tab of the Workspace Window) displays information about each online device, includ-
ing the current firmware version.
Before attempting to upgrade the firmware, you must have the appropriate Kit file for your device.
