AMX NI-3101-SIG manual Obtaining the Master’s IP Address using Dhcp

Configuration and Firmware Update

By setting the system to its default value (#1), Modero panels that were set to connect to the Master on another System value will not appear in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window.

For example: A Modero touch panel was previously set to System #2. The system is then reset to its default setting of System #1 and then refreshed from within the Workspace window. The panel will not reappear until the system is changed (from within the System Connection page on the Modero) to match the new value and both the Master and panel are rebooted.

3.Click Done to close the Device Addressing dialog.

4.Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.

5.Press Done once until the Master Reboot Status field reads *Reboot of System Complete*.

6.Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).

7.Right-click the associated System number (or anywhere within the tab itself) and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system.

8.Use Ctrl+S to save the existing NetLinx Project with the new changes.

2.Verify that both the System number corresponds to the System value previously assigned within the Device Addressing tab and that zero (0) is entered into the Device field.

The system value must correspond to the Device Address entered in the Device Addressing dialog. Refer to the Setting the System Value section on page 18 for more detailed instructions on setting a system value.

3.Click the Get IP Information button to configure the on-board Master for DHCP usage and then read the IP Address obtained from the DHCP Server.
