from its URL list).

Auto - In this mode, enter the System Number of the NetLinx Master.

This mode instructs the Modero to search for a Master that uses the

same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection

section) and that resides on the same Subnet.

To configure ICSNet Communication:

1.Under the Master Connection column, toggle the ICSNET/Ethernet field until the choices cycle to ICSNET.

2.All other settings are disabled and do not apply.

Second - Setup the IP Settings (Panel Communication)

Toggle the on-screen DHCP/Static field to select the appropriate setting for your system.

DHCP - With this setting, other settings are greyed-out and do not apply. Typically the Host Name can be left blank. These fields (“pulled” from the Ethernet connection) are filled-in by the panel after the unit is rebooted.

Static IP - With this setting, you must enter the network information as provided by your Network Administrator.

Remaining System Connection Parameters

1.Set the speed of the Ethernet connection to the panel by selecting from either: Auto (default), 10 Half Duplex, 10 Full Duplex, 100 Half Duplex, or 100 Full Duplex.

2.Enter a valid username and/or password (if the target Master is secured).

3.Press the Back button and then press the on-screen Reboot button to save the changes and cycle power.

NOTE: Press the on-screen Reboot button after any changes are made to the touch panel’s Communication Parameters.

There are two choices for communication with the system Master:

Setting up a Modero Wireless Connection

Ethernet or ICSNet. The default method used for Master connection is

Ethernet.

First - Setup the Master Connection

To configure Ethernet communication:

1.Under the Master Connection column, toggle the ICSNET/Ethernet field until the choices cycle to Ethernet.

2.Press the Mode button:

URL - In this mode, enter the System Number (zero for an unknown System Number) and the IP/URL of the Master (Master Port Number is defaulted to 1319).

Refer to the 12" and 15" Modero Touch Panel Series Instruction Manual for detailed wireless connectivity setup and configuration information.
