Upgrading the Firmware through an IP Address
Before beginning with this section, verify that your CP4/A unit is powered and connected to the
NetLinx Master through an AXlink connection. Use this method if you can only access the
NetLinx Master through an Ethernet connection.
1. Obtain the IP Address of the NetLinx Master from your System Administrator, if you do not
have an IP Address for the Master:
Follow steps outlined in the NetLinx Studio Instruction Manual for either Obtaining or
Assigning and IP Address.
From the Online tab of the Project Navigator window, select the NetLinx Master.
Press the Get IP button from the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics > Networking tab >
IP Address section. Note the IP Address and Gateway information.
2. Select Tools > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu.
3. Press the NetLinx radio button from within the Platform section of the Communication
Settings dialog box (FIG. 38 on page 72).
4. From the Communications Port drop-down list, choose Network. This indicates the
IP Address on the master is being reached from within a network connection.
5. Enter the IP Address information displayed on the Networking tab. Do not alter the defaulted
IP port.
6. Click the OK button to end the process of obtaining and assigning the IP Address to the
NetLinx Master.
7. Select Edit > Preferences, from the General - Communications section.
Canceling the firmware download in mid-progress can damage the on-board
firmware.
