Prerequisites:
When downloading kit files from NetLinx Studio:

  • Upgrading DVX device firmware (usually device 5002):
    • a. use kit file SW1905_DVX_KIT_DVX_2100HD_SP_T_v1_4_36.kit Within the "Send to NetLinx Device" dialog box please check the "Reboot Device" check box before proceeding with KIT file download.
    • b. Starting with the release of V3_51_359, DVX utilizes an intelligent download feature that will skip any part of the DVX device firmware that has the same version as the firmware already loaded in the system. For example, the FGPA portion of the firmware will be skipped if there are no changes to it in the new release being uploaded. This in enabled by default. While it should not be necessary, the user can change the intelligent downloading settings by using the following telnet command in superuser mode:
      smart-downloading [enable|disable|status]
  • **Set Video/Audio to Default NEEDED if previous version is old than V3_51_364**
  • Set the Video setting to factory default after successfully completing the firmware downloads.
    • a. Record all current audio and video configuration settings, as the next steps will overwrite them.
    • b. Using the front panel press the "VIDEO MENU" button.
    • c. Navigate to "Revert to Default:NO" using the up arrow key.
    • d. When at the "Revert to Default:NO" menu item press the right arrow key once.
    • e. When asked "Are you Sure?" at the front panel, press the right arrow key to reset to factory Video defaults. The front panel will report back with "Defaulting Video"
    • f. Using the front panel press the "AUDIO MENU" button, then go through similar steps b,c and d to reset to factory Audio defaults.
