NetLinx Controllers
Massio ControlPads require two firmware (*.kit) files:
Master
firmware and
Device
firmware. The Master firmware file is not the
same as the Device firmware file.
Both files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Integrated Controllers.
NOTE:
The process of downloading and transferring firmware files is the same for all types of firmware. However, it is important that
the firmware files are upgraded in specific following order for Massio ControlPads (see the Required Order of Firmware Updates
Master and Device Firmware Kit Files for Massio ControlPads
Below is a table outlining the
Master
and
Device
Firmware (*.kit) files used by Massio ControlPads:
NOTE:
The HTTP firmware kit enables you to upgrade firmware via an HTTP server. Upgrading a Massio ControlPad to firmware
version 1.4 or higher requires the current firmware version on the ControlPad to be version 1.3.106 or higher. Follow the same steps
in NetLinx Studio as you would with a typical firmware upgrade. Upgrading firmware via HTTP server is typically much faster than
upgrading with the standard firmware kit files. See the Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio section on page 30 for more
information.
