Configuring Communication

If the connection fails to establish, a Connection Failed dialog appears. Try selecting a different IP Address if communication fails.

Press the Retry button to reconnect using the same communication parameters. Press the Change button to alter your communication parameters and repeat steps 4 thru 18.

Associating the MAX unit to a Target Master

Although the MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 units can function independently of a NetLinx Master, the NetLinx Settings page allows a user (with proper access rights) to specify which Master is to be used for communication, query, and firmware updating.

Associating a MAX-CSE to a Target Master

1.From the Browser-based UI Administration page, click the NetLinx Settings button to access the NetLinx Settings page (FIG. 18 on page 33).

2.From within the Mode field, click on the drop-down arrow to reveal a listing of available NetLinx connection Modes which can be used when communicating with the target Master. For the purposes of these procedures, select URL.

In the URL mode, you can only enter the IP/URL of the target Master. The System Number field becomes greyed-out and left at zero (for an unknown System Number) and the Master Port Number field is defaulted to 1319.

NetLinx Master Connection Mode options:

•LISTEN sets the MAX unit to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master. In this system, the MAX unit acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".

•AUTO is used to instruct the MAX unit to search for a Master that both uses the same System Number (assigned within this page’s System Number field) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled.

This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.

•This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master manual for more detailed information.

•URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. This setting is used when the IP Address of the target NetLinx Master is known. In this system, the MAX unit acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).

For more detailed information on communicating with a target Master, refer to the procedures outlined within the previous Communicating with the Target Master via an IP section on page 52.

The Encryption fields on a MAX-CSE are not enabled. Therefore, to establish a connection to a target Master, both the ICSP Connectivity and Encryption requirements should be disabled from within the Master’s System Security Settings page (see FIG. 19 on page 33).

3.Only in the Auto Mode will the System field be user-definable. Default value is 3701.

Having previously selected URL, this field is greyed-out (read-only).

If the System field is user-editable (when in the Auto Mode), enter the system number being used by a Master on your same Subnet.

4.Within the Device Number field, enter the MAX unit’s currently used device value (non-duplicated).
