www.amx.com) for information on configuring communications on the panel.

3.After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the Virtual Master and the panel, click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the Virtual System. The default System value is one.

4.Right-click on the System entry and select Refresh System to re-populate the list. Verify the panel appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window. The default Modero panel value is 10001.

7.Select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu to open the Send to NetLinx Device dialog (FIG. 3). Verify the panel’s System and Device number values match those values listed within the System folder in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window.

8.Select the docking station’s Kit file (ending in VXX.kit) from the Files section (FIG. 3).

9.Enter the Device number associated with the panel and the System number associated with the Master (listed in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window). The Port field is greyed-out.
