Greetings from AMX Global Customer Service,


New Download Updates are now available and can be obtained by following the link/directions in each of the updates below. Here’s a quick overview of what's in this update:


Firmware/Applications

  • Novara AxLink Keypad Firmware
  • TPI-PRO, TPI-PRO-DVI Firmware
  • TPI-PRO, TPI-PRO-DVI Drivers

Update 1:
Novara AxLink Keypad Firmware v.1.03
http://www.amx.com/techcenter/downloadConfirm.asp?fn=/assets/firmwareFiles/SW1301-05A_v1.03.TSK


Release Date: January 18, 2010

New in This Release:

  • During power down the keypad could enter a brown out state which caused erratic behavior. This could cause the keypad to become non-functional and non-recoverable. A trap has been placed to catch this eventuality.
  • Bug fixed in the AXLink communications in which if there were multiple keypads on the bus trying to communicate to a master at the same time, both keypads would become locked and require a power cycle to recover.
