Activation Process Changes
 Notes
o Upon upgrading to firmware version 2.00 a system reboot will take place up to two
minutes after the system upgrade is complete
o It is important to power cycle the TMX-2050 prior to upgrading firmware
o It is important to power cycle the TM-200 and TMX-2050 after an upgrade
 It may be necessary to cycle power the TM-200 by removing the power
connection
o It is important to back up all data via USB or Office Sync before upgrading firmware on
every TMX-2050 display
o Farmworks 2015 is required to send files to devices on TMX-2050 Display 2.00 firmware
o Autopilot and EZ Steer must connect through Port A on the TM-200
o EZ Pilot must connect through Port B on the TM-200
 This precludes any other CAN traffic assignments on Port B and also reserves
accessory I/O pins for EZ Pilot functions so radar out is not available
o The LB 25 is not compatible with the RJ 11 connector (Aux) on the back of the TMX-2050
display so it must be connected through a CAN line
 The LB 25 cannot share a CAN line with EZ Pilot
o A Intermediate to High accuracy unlock will be made available at a future date
o The TMX 2.00 firmware is a large version change so upgrading may take longer than
normal
o All automated systems will disengage upon leaving the run screen for any reason
o Once a TMX-2050 display has been upgraded to firmware 2.00 it cannot be downgraded
to any previous version
 Attempting to force such a downgrade may damage the system
