Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 261
Software Installation
Caveats
Before starting the Installation process, please read the following:
• All frames with TRX-DM256-3G matrix cards MUST be updated to the
3.3.0 (or later) release of Broadlinx. For example, the 256x512, 512x512,
and the 512x1024.
• Web tools such as NetConfig cannot be used to install versions prior to
the 3.2.0 version of Broadlinx.
• Protected paths are not monitored during firmware updates. If the
primary path fails during a firmware update, no fail-over switch will
occur.
• Certain TRX-NXT-512x512 systems will require Dual In-line Package
(DIP) switch changes to operate properly with the 2.4 release (or newer)
software. The S401-7 and S401-8 DIP switches on the DM-33501 and
DM-33502 1.5G matrix boards should be set to
ON . If the stickers are not
present, these switches should be set to Off . The remaining six switches
on S401 are always set to Off .
• For multiple Trinix 128 or 256 frame systems only, the DIP switch “A”
setting on the frame with the Broadlinx board that is driving the Com
Bus should be set to Open. This setting should be set to Closed on all
other frames in the system. This step is required when using Protected
Paths. For single frame operation the “A” switch must be set to the
Open position.
• Certain steps of the following procedure will momentarily interrupt
switcher operations. These steps are preceded by a
Caution statement.

Updating Compact Flash Cards
Compact Flash (CF) Memory cards are used to update Broadlinx. These
cards are read from the NR-33000 (Broadlinx) board. You must use at least
a 128MB CF memory card.
