FIG. 16 Assigning Communication Settings and Baud Rates

7.Set the COM port parameters for the selected COM port being used for communication to the NetLinx Master. Default parameters are: COM1, 38400, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and No Flow Control.

8.Click OK three times to close the open dialogs and save your settings.

If the connection fails to establish:

Select a different COM port, press the Retry button to reconnect using the same communication parameters, or press the Change button to alter your communication parameters and repeat steps 2 thru 8.

Verifying the current version of NetLinx Master firmware

1.Click on the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).

2.Right-click on the Empty Device Tree entry and select Refresh System to establish a new connection to the System’s Master and refresh the list with online system devices. The communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.

The current firmware version of the Master is displayed to the right of the device.

3.After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the PC and the Master, verify the NetLinx Master appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window (FIG. 17).

4.If the firmware version is not build 139 (v2_XX_139) for the NXC-ME260, follow the procedures outlined in the following sections to assign System/Device values, setup an IP Address, and then transfer the new firmware KIT file to the Master.
