Configuring Communication

You must use a value which is not currently being used by another device currently communicating with the target Master.

The Default value is 32001.

Within Studio, connect to the target Master, click on the Online Tree tab to review what device values are already being used (FIG. 35).

5.Within the Master IP/URL field, enter the IP Address or URL used by the target Master. This is the same IP Address used by NetLinx Studio to communicate with the Master.

6.Unless otherwise necessary, do not alter the default value entered within the Master Port field. This field allows you to enter the port number used by the NetLinx Master.

The Default value is 1319.

7.Click the Apply button to complete the configuration process and save the parameters to the MAX unit.

8.Confirm that the target Master is not configured for require encryption and communicate via a secured ICSP connection. It is not necessary to remove all security from a target Master to establish a connection.

Use a second instance of your browser to navigate to the UI pages of the target Master (via the device’s IP Address).

After successfully logging into the Master, locate the Security section of the left Navigation frame and click on the System Level link to open the System Security Settings page.

Uncheck the ICSP Connectivity and Require Encryption options (see FIG. 19 on page 33). This allows an unencrypted device using ICSP to communicate with the target NetLinx Master.

Click the on-screen Update button to save this new configuration to the target Master.

9.Confirm the MAX unit is properly communicating with the target Master by using NetLinx Studio to confirm the presence of the new device within the Master’s System listing (FIG. 35).
