Using G4 Web Control to Interact with a G4 Panel

The G4 Web Control feature allows you to use a PC to interact with a G4 enabled panel via the web. This feature works in tandem with the new browser-capable NetLinx Security firmware update (build 300 or higher). G4 Web Control is only available with the latest Modero panel firmware.

Refer to the G4 Web Control Settings/G4 Web Control Page section on page 73 for more detailed field information.

Verify your NetLinx Master (ME260/64 or NI-Series) has been installed with the latest firmware KIT file from www.amx.com. Refer to your NetLinx Master instruction manual for more detailed information on the use of the new web-based NetLinx Security.

7.The Network Interface Select field is read-only and displays the method of communication to the web.

Wireless is used when a wireless card is detected within the internal card slot. This method provides an indirect communication to the web via a pre-configured Wireless Access Point.

The Network Interface Select field is read-only and defaulted to Wireless (since there is no Ethernet cable connection).

8.Press the Web Control Name field to open the Web Name keyboard.

9.From the Web Name keyboard, enter a unique alpha-numeric string to identify this panel. This information is used by the NetLinx Security Web Server to display on-screen links to the panel. The on-screen links use the IP Address of the panel and not the name for communication (FIG. 32).

10.Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string for the Web Control name.

11.Press the Web Control Password field to open the Web Password keyboard.
