Upgrading Accessory Devices via the USB

The following accessory devices are firmware upgradeable:



NXA-BASE/B Battery Base (FG2255-10)

This device is not given a unique device number which would ordinarily appear within the Online Tree tab of
NetLinx Studio. It appears below the target panel which it is a part of as seen below in FIG. 79.

The only way to upgrade the firmware of an accessory item is to send the accessory’s firmware through a
target panel. Its this panel’s device number which is entered within the Send to NetLinx Device transfer dialog
in Studio.

Step 1: Prepare the NXA-BASE/B for firmware transfer via USB

Before beginning with this section:



Unplug any connectors from the rear of the NXT panel (power, Ethernet, etc.).



Refer to the Installing the NXA-BASE/B to an NXT Modero Panel section on page 23 for installation

procedures to mount the NXT atop the battery base.



Verify your NXA-BASE/B is securely attached to the bottom of the NXT panel.



Once the base is secured, side out the battery compartment and install the batteries into the battery
base. Once the batteries are installed, close the compartment.



Reconnect all rear connectors to the NXT panel.

1.

Complete the instructions for configuring the NetLinx Master for IP communication found in the
Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port section on page 73.

DO NOT PLACE BATTERIES IN THE BASE BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE
NXT PANEL
. Insert batteries into the NXA-BASE/B ONLY AFTER the base has been
installed onto the bottom of the NXT panel.
Having batteries in the base before connection can damage the battery base.
