both the system number used in step 7 for the VNM is entered into the Master Connection section of
the System Settings page and the panel is restarted.
Step 3: Confirm and Upgrade the firmware via the USB port
Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable (FG10-5965) to provide communication
between the mini-USB Program port on the touch panel and the PC. This method of communication is used to
transfer firmware Kit files and TPD4 touch panel files.
1. Verify this direct USB connection (Type-A on the panel to mini-USB on the panel) is configured properly
using the steps outlined in the previous two sections.
2. With the panel already configured for USB communication and the Virtual Master setup within NetLinx
Studio, its now time to verify the panel is ready to receive files.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the Virtual
Master and the panel, click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window (FIG. 74) to view the devices
on the Virtual System. The default System value is one.
4. Right-click on the System entry (FIG. 74) and select Refresh System to re-populate the list. Verify the
panel appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window.
The default Modero panel value is 10001.
5. If the panel firmware being used is not current, download the latest Kit file by first logging in to
www.amx.com and then navigate to Tech Center > Firmware Files and from within the Modero section
of the web page locate your Modero panel.
6. Click on the desired Kit file link and after you’ve accepted the Licensing Agreement, verify you have
downloaded the Modero Kit file to a known location.
7. From within Studio, select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu
to open the Send to NetLinx Device dialog (B in FIG. 75). Verify the panel’s System and Device number
values match those values listed within the System folder in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace
window (A in FIG. 75).
A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel.
Connection to a previously powered panel which then reboots, allows the PC to
detect the panel and assign an appropriate USB driver.
