Upgrading Modero Firmware
Before beginning the Upgrade process:
Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the your particular NetLinx Master Instruction
Manual for detailed setup procedures.
Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the Modero panel for use. Refer to the Panel
Calibration section on page 29.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Help file for more information on uploading files
via Ethernet.
Configure your panel for a direct connection. Refer to the Configuring Communication section on
page 31 for more information.
The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for
updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit files to a
NetLinx Master (except the target device is a panel instead of a Master). Refer to either your Master’s
literature or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.
Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port
Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is
securely inserted into the PC’s USB port. The panel must be powered-on before connecting the
mini-USB connector to the panel.
Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed; confirm the proper installation of the large
Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.
2. After the CV5 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds) to
continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
3. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page.
4. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB.
5. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
6. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that the
panel’s connection type must be set to USB prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB
connector.
It is recommended that firmware Kit files only be transferred over a direct Ethernet
connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply.
A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to
communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a
panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the
Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the
latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB
driver installation.
This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 application installations.
ALL fields are then greyed-out and read-only, but still display any previous network
information.
